James Maddison Faces Uncertain Future at Tottenham Ahead of Manchester City Clash

James Maddison‘s position in the Tottenham Hotspur starting XI has become increasingly uncertain as the team prepares to face Manchester City in the Premier League. According to recent team news, Maddison is likely to miss out on the starting lineup for the upcoming match at the Etihad Stadium.

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has several key players absent due to injuries and suspensions. Cristian Romero will miss the game due to a foot injury, while Micky van de Ven is out until mid-December. Mikey Moore is recovering from a virus, and Richarlison and Wilson Odobert are long-term absentees. Additionally, Rodrigo Bentancur is serving a seven-match ban handed by the FA.

In the absence of these players, Yves Bissouma is expected to replace Bentancur in the midfield, having recently found his form again. Ben Davies is also set to partner Radu Dragusin in central defense. The front line is likely to feature Dominic Solanke, Brennan Johnson, and captain Son Heung-min.

Maddison’s recent form has seen him fall down the pecking order, with Pape Matar Sarr and Dejan Kulusevski likely to retain their places in the starting XI. This situation highlights the challenges Maddison faces in salvaging his career at Tottenham, where consistency and performance are under scrutiny.
