Spurs' Maddison fit to face Palace - De Zerbi

Maddison is fit to play against Palace on Saturday despite limping off against Chelsea last week, De Zerbi confirms.

James Maddison is available for Tottenham's visit to Crystal Palace on Saturday, manager Roberto De Zerbi has confirmed. The 29-year-old midfielder left the field in the 51st minute of Spurs' 2-0 win at Chelsea but has recovered from the injury scare. De Zerbi said Maddison did not train fully this week but will be available for selection, though the manager indicated he will assess whether to risk playing him given his recent injury history. Maddison missed most of last season with an ACL injury and fractured his shoulder in Tottenham's opening weekend defeat at Brentford before returning to the starting line-up earlier this month, scoring in a 3-1 win against Coventry.
