James Maddison is one of the best players at Tottenham Hotspur and has been superb for the North London club this season.

The 26-year-old has scored three goals and given five assists in 11 Premier League for Tottenham this season.

Spurs are second in the league table with 26 points from 11 games, just a point behind leaders and defending champions Manchester City.

Former West Ham United and Newcastle United manager Sam Allardyce, though, has noticed a problem with James Maddison.

Sam Allardyce on Tottenham Hotspur playmaker James Maddison

Allardyce has noted that the Tottenham Hotspur and England international playmaker gets injured.

‘Big Sam’ has pointed out Maddison had injury issues during his time at Leicester.

The 26-year-old attacking midfielder has an ankle injury at the moment.

The playmaker suffered the problem during Tottenham’s Premier League game against Chelsea on Monday.

During his time at Leicester, Maddison had knee and hip problems.

Allardyce said about Maddison on No Tippy Tappy Football: “He had the same problems at Leicester, though, didn’t he?”

Tottenham Hotspur need not worry about James Maddison

In my view, Tottenham Hotspur need not worry about James Maddison’s fitness issues.

Maddison is a very reliable player and is one of the best playmakers in the Premier League.

Injuries are part of the game.

I do not think that Spurs should be overly concerned about Maddison.

Maddison has made 174 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.

The playmaker has scored 46 goals and given 37 assists in those games.

Tottenham will face Wolverhampton Wanderers away from home in the Premier League this weekend.

I am backing Spurs to win the match against Wolves and bounce back from the defeat to Chelsea in the London derby.
