Maddison returns to Tottenham starting lineup and scores opener against Coventry

James Maddison returned to Tottenham's starting lineup for the first time since May 1, 2025, and celebrated his return by scoring the opening goal for his team against Coventry City in the match between the two teams in the Premier League.

James Maddison succeeded in finding the net in the 14th minute, giving Tottenham the lead in the match. This was a perfect return for the player who had been absent from the starting lineup for a long time, with hopes that he will be an important addition to the team in the upcoming phase.

James Maddison's return comes at an important time for Tottenham, who are looking to secure their first win in the Premier League this season after struggling with a poor start that has left them at the bottom of the table ahead of the match.

Tottenham's matchday squad also saw the return of Dejan Kulusevski, who appeared in the team list for the first time since May 11, 2025, providing manager Roberto De Zerbi with an additional boost as he regains important attacking options.
