James Maddison has provided a timely update amid growing concern over his recovery at Tottenham following a strange video of his legs.
James Maddison is currently on the road to recovery after suffering an ACL injury in pre-season, which has kept him sidelined throughout the campaign so far.
However, the Englishman is making steady progress, having recently returned to training on the pitches at Hotspur Way, although he remains some way off a return to competitive action for Tottenham.
The latest injury updates suggest that Maddison is most likely to make his comeback in June, after the season has concluded.
Tottenham midfielder James Maddison responds to that leg video
With rehabilitation still the focus for the England international, he was seen putting in the work at the gym at the Tottenham training facility, doing some work on his leg.
However, that footage sparked fear among many Spurs fans, as Maddison’s right thigh looked significantly smaller than his left.
Many supporters were of the opinion that the noticeable difference meant his return could take longer than expected, likely due to ‘muscle wastage’.
In a post on his Instagram story, Maddison has now provided an update, pouring cold water on fears regarding his leg.
Posting a picture of both thighs, he wrote in the caption: “Admin needs to work on the angles of videoing…”
Spurs hope for timely returns in relegation run-in
While Maddison remains a few months out, Spurs supporters will be hoping that some of their other injured stars return soon.
Mohammed Kudus is one such player who has been out for three months but is now nearing a return ahead of Tottenham’s relegation run-in.
Kudus is understood to have returned to training ahead of Spurs’ encounter with Sunderland on Sunday, although it remains unclear whether he will feature.
