Tottenham midfielder James Maddison is available to face Crystal Palace on Saturday despite an injury scare last week, manager Roberto De Zerbi says. The 29-year-old England international limped off in the 51st minute of Spurs' 2-0 victory at Chelsea.

It sparked worries about Maddison's fitness, after he missed the majority of last season with an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Maddison then fractured his shoulder in Tottenham's opening weekend defeat at Brentford this season, before returning to the starting line-up earlier this month when he scored a spectacular goal in a 3-1 win against Coventry.

When asked about Maddison's condition, De Zerbi said he will be "available" for the visit of Palace. "This week he didn't work like the other players, but for tomorrow he is available and he is a special player for us," said De Zerbi.
