The Tottenham Hotspur boss has provided the latest team news ahead of the trip to Aston Villa
Roberto De Zerbi has not ruled James Maddison out from featuring in Tottenham’s crucial Premier League clash against Aston Villa.
The attacking midfielder has not featured this season due to an ACL injury but has been named on the bench in recent weeks in a bid to improve morale across the squad. Speaking on Friday ahead of Sunday’s trip to the Midlands, De Zerbi said Maddison was training “very well”.
“I don’t know,” the Italian said when asked if Maddison could feature at Villa Park. “I would like to play with him because he’s a special player but we need to consider the physical condition and a lot of things. I think he can be important in the next three games.”
Elsewhere, De Zerbi confirmed Dominic Solanke and Guglielmo Vicario will miss the clash due to injury, while Destiny Udogie faces a late fitness test.
