James Maddison ‘ready to start’ for Tottenham in FA Cup clash with Man City
James Maddison is available for Tottenham’s FA Cup tie with Manchester City but boss Ange Postecoglou has yet to make a decision on whether he will start Friday’s clash.
Maddison has not played for Spurs since he sustained ankle ligament damage in a 4-1 defeat to Chelsea on November 6.
England international Maddison flourished after he moved to the club in a £40million deal from Leicester last June, scoring three goals and providing six assists in 12 appearances, and he will return to action against FA Cup holders Man City.

Postecoglou revealed: “He’s trained all week and he is fine.
“He is available and ready to start… when someone is available I assume they are ready to start.
“Whether they do or not depends on what I see with everyone else tomorrow and I usually make those decisions on game day.
“Like I said, the beauty of it is he’s got through the week really well and is ready to go.”
