Ange Postecoglou and Tottenham handed major fitness boost as James Maddison set to return from three months out injured against Man City

Premier League

Tottenham

The attacking midfielder has been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/tottenham-ange-postecoglou-james-maddison-injury/blt702c772c26f3af8f" target="_blank">out with an ankle injury since early November</a> but is on schedule to return to action in the next week, <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/01/18/james-maddison-tottenham-comeback-man-city-spurs/" target="_blank">The Telegraph</a> reports. That could see him make his long-awaited return in the fourth round tie against the reigning English champions.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Maddison has been a key player for Spurs since joining from Leicester in the summer transfer window. He scored three goals and registered five assists in his 11 Premier League appearances before <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/tottenham-premier-league-title-chances-smoke-james-maddison-miss-extended-period-ankle-injury/blt00c98075200efdf1" target="_blank">he was ruled out for almost three months.</a>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Maddison is not the only boost for Australian coach Postecoglou. Israel international winger Manor Solomon is also hoping to be back in the squad for the headline clash against City. The 24-year-old, signed from Shakhtar ahead of this season, made five league appearances before suffering an injury in September.

DID YOU KNOW?

Maddison and Solomon will hope to avoid any setbacks as they continue their respective recoveries from injury and hope to be back in action against Pep Guardiola's side.
