Roberto De Zerbi gives James Maddison injury update ahead of Crystal Palace clash

  • Tottenham Hotspur playmaker James Maddison has been declared available for Saturday's Premier League clash against Crystal Palace despite limping off during last weekend's 2-0 victory over Chelsea.
  • Spurs manager Roberto De Zerbi confirmed Maddison missed two training sessions this week but stressed that no unnecessary fitness risks would be taken given his previous return from a major knee injury.
  • Full-back Destiny Udogie is also in line for a return to the Tottenham squad after sitting out recent fixtures against Coventry City and Chelsea with an ongoing knee problem.
  • Tottenham prepare to face 17th-placed Crystal Palace on the back of a historic win at Stamford Bridge, marking only their second away Premier League victory against Chelsea.
  • De Zerbi warned his squad against early celebration, urging key leaders within the group to maintain high levels of mentality, spirit, and appetite for consistent victories throughout the season.
