Tottenham fans will love what James Maddison has said about returning teammate

James Maddison, who is stepping up his recovery from his ACL injury, has made a confession about his Tottenham teammate on social media.

The attacking midfielder has not kicked a ball this season, having picked up an ACL injury during pre-season in South Korea.

Despite that, Maddison has been named in Thomas Frank’s new Tottenham leadership group, while the likes of Rodrigo Bentancur and Pedro Porro have missed out.

That shows how highly the attacking midfielder is thought of in the dressing room, and we have seen Maddison continue to encourage his Spurs teammates over recent weeks despite being on the treatment table.

James Maddison makes ACL injury confession about Tottenham defender

The former Leicester man has seen Radu Dragusin recover well ahead of schedule from his ACL injury, with the Romanian having trained with the Tottenham squad over recent weeks, although he is yet to return to full training.

Maddison has posted some positive updates about his recovery of late, and the England international will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of the Romanian and return sooner than expected.

The midfielder has now revealed on his Instagram stories that he takes inspiration from the former Genoa defender’s recovery as he continues to work hard to return as soon as possible.

Dragusin linked up with Romania squad despite Spurs advising against call-up

Last week, it emerged that Tottenham convinced Romania not to call up Radu Dragusin for the upcoming international break, as the club did not want to take any risks with the defender, as he slowly builds up his strength.

However, despite this, Dragusin was spotted doing gym work with his Romanian teammates earlier this week, with the 23-year-old deciding to link up with his national teammates despite the fact that he was not named in the squad.

The centre-back was there with the Spurs squad to support his national teammates, but it would appear, based on Maddison’s latest social media post, that he may already be back at Hotspur Way.

Dragusin’s agent revealed last week that the 23-year-old will be back playing in a month, and his return would certainly serve as a boost to Thomas Frank as Tottenham’s schedule gets busier over the coming months.
