• The England international was substituted early in the second half of Spurs' 2-0 win at Chelsea, raising concerns over his ⁠fitness after a series ⁠of injury setbacks

• Maddison missed most of last season with ⁠an ‌ACL injury and also spent time out in this campaign with a shoulder injury suffered in ⁠his side's opening-weekend defeat at Brentford.

• Hemarked his return to ‌the starting lineup by opening the scoring against ⁠Coventry City earlier this month

• "This week he didn't work like the other players, but for tomorrow he is available and he is ⁠a special player for us," De Zerbi told a press conference.

• "For Maddison or the players who are coming from a long injury, they have to work more ⁠than the other players, but he has already four or five weeks ... So, I think it's not a problem if he loses two days (training), but then we have to analyse if we take the ⁠risk or not," De Zerbi added.

• Full back Destiny Udogie is also set to return ‌after the Italian missed the last two games with a knee injury
