Tottenham suffered a significant setback when midfielder James Maddison was forced off the field due to a groin injury during their match against Chelsea on October 24, 2026. Maddison had returned from an absence of nearly 17 months and performed impressively in his first game back against Coventry by scoring a long-range goal. However, he pulled up while not involved in play and was substituted for Conor Gallagher, leading to boos from the Tottenham supporters at Stamford Bridge. Despite initial uncertainty about Maddison's availability for the Chelsea match, manager Roberto De Zerbi had already indicated doubts about his starting lineup on Friday. Maddison’s injury is a major blow to both Tottenham and himself as he was expected to be a key player in the upcoming derby game.
