Player Watch Player Watch: James Maddison

[spursfan77]

This is probably the longest [injury] I've had, if it's, say, three months, I've never really gone past that," Maddison said

Thats what he actually said. Could be taken any way really. Pretty ambiguous but the club have been pretty quiet on it, do we even know what he has done to his ankle?

Wow

[HNIM]

Just as likely she wanted to use that ..gif and made up a reason. I'll wait for a better source.

 

[cjsimba]

Surely we’ll see official photos soon then if true?

 

[Tucker]

On the pitch doesn’t mean he’s ready yet.

POK (I know, really popular around here) has mentioned he's in Dubai, but could well be out there working on his fitness as we've seen other players do before.

Could be light grass work. Doesn't mean he's back in 1st team training

 

[Ghost Hardware]

Bentancur was on the field for a while before he even joined training. I know his injury was significantly worse but I’d also not get too excited at this point if the information is even real which it might well not be.

 

[easley91]

It's positive news, much like VDV. But being on the training pitch doesn't necessarily mean he is in full first team training.

Of course but at least they are seeing grass again which hasn’t always been the case with our injured players

It's more of a reality check that it could still be a while before they're ready to play is all.

 

[ARMASPUR]

I don’t think anyone’s expecting them to start against Forest on Friday night like, just glad to see they are getting closer to a return . Surely it’s ok to be positive about that . Some serious doom and gloomers in here

 

[ajspurs]

Yep. At the end of the day I'd rather them back on the pitch than not!

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

I simply can't wait to see him back. Our best player by a mile. I haven't genuinely enjoyed watching a player for Spurs as much since Van Der Vaart.

Agree on that

 

[Mr Pink]

Yeah, realistically and hopefully, it means he's back early January rather than late January.

For what it's worth, O'Keefe thinks Maddison is in Dubai and that Clive Allen maybe got the wrong end of the stick and confused him with VdV...

He shouldn't be smoking anything...
