Maddison available for Crystal Palace, says De Zerbi
James Maddison is available for Tottenham against Crystal Palace on Saturday, despite the scare that forced him off on 51 minutes at Stamford Bridge in the 2-0 win over Chelsea. The 29-year-old, who returned to the XI and scored in the 3-1 win over Coventry, has 17 goals and 21 assists in 85 games for the club.

James Maddison estará disponível para o Tottenham contra o Crystal Palace no sábado, apesar do susto físico que o obrigou a sair de campo na semana passada, segundo o técnico Roberto De Zerbi.
O inglês de 29 anos foi substituído aos 51 minutos em Stamford Bridge, onde o Tottenham venceu por 2 a 0, o que levantou temores sobre um jogador que ficou fora de boa parte da temporada anterior se recuperando de uma ruptura do ligamento cruzado anterior.
O histórico recente explica a preocupação. Maddison fraturou o ombro na rodada de abertura, contra o Brentford, depois reconquistou a titularidade no início deste mês e marcou o retorno com um gol espetacular na vitória por 3 a 1 sobre o Coventry.
Questionado sobre a condição do jogador, De Zerbi disse que Maddison estará disponível para enfrentar o Palace.
“Esta semana ele não treinou como os outros jogadores, mas para amanhã está disponível e é um jogador especial para nós”, disse.
“Para o James Maddison ou para jogadores que voltam de uma lesão longa, eles têm de trabalhar mais do que os outros, mas ele já tem quatro ou cinco semanas — está trabalhando muito e com consistência. Então acho que não é problema se ele perder dois dias, mas depois temos de analisar se assumimos o risco ou não.”
O Tottenham venceu Coventry e Chelsea desde que Maddison voltou ao time titular, saindo da zona de rebaixamento para o 14º lugar na Premier League.
Ele chegou do Leicester em 2023 por 40 milhões de libras, com contrato de cinco anos. Seu retrospecto pelo clube do norte de Londres é de 17 gols e 21 assistências em 85 jogos.
