James Maddison
29-Year-Old
Tottenham Hotspur
Premier
OUT
Injury Knee
Est. Return 5/24/2026
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Maddison's story last season was similar to many other Tottenham players, as he was hampered by injuries. He finished with 16 goal contributions despite playing the fewest minutes he's played in a Premier League campaign, just 1,816. If he can stay fit, he could play a key role in Thomas Frank's system as the creator in the center of the pitch, connecting the defense to the offense. If things go well and he's healthy for 30-plus matches, it wouldn't be surprising if he surpassed 20 goal involvements, similar to his peak at Leicester City.
Working through rehab
Maddison is going through rehab after surgery for his torn ACL three months ago but is hoping to return before the end of the campaign.
ANALYSIS
Maddison is eyeing a return before the end of the 2025/26 campaign, depending on how his rehab goes. The attacking midfielder suffered a torn ACL during the pre-season, but he's recovering well and if he continues to do so could return ahead of the expected timeline. The next step for Maddison's recovery is a return to running on grass, which will likely come around the turn of the year, if not in the coming weeks.
