Tottenham drop James Maddison clue amid triple team news hint before Manchester United clash
Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou could welcome back several players for Sunday afternoon’s Premier League game with Manchester United.
Tottenham star James Maddison has offered a hint that he may return from injury against Manchester United.
Tottenham Hotspur are set to host Manchester United on Sunday afternoon in desperate need of a result.
Ange Postecoglou’s team have just one win in the Premier League since mid-December and crashed out of both domestic cups in their previous two fixtures. Tottenham currently sit 15th in the top-flight table – but could move above their opponents this weekend with a win.
And several Spurs players have hinted they will feature in Sunday afternoon’s game. James Maddison, Guglielmo Vicario and Kevin Danso are among the Tottenham men who have posted pre-match graphics on their Instagram stories, hinting that they may start against Ruben Amorim’s team.

Historically, players who share these graphics have tended to be in the team come kick-off. Maddison’s return to Postecoglou’s side will be a welcome relief to the Spurs manager.
“Madders is a little bit ahead of schedule [in his recovery],” manager Postecoglou said during his pre-match press conference on Friday morning. “He’s feeling really good.
“He’s had a good week of training. We were thinking maybe [it will be] next week for him – but he’s trained really well all week, and he’s had the least amount of time out, so he’s looking in a good place.
The Australian also provided an update on Destiny Udogie, who could also return to action this Sunday afternoon. The left-back has been side-lined since the end of last year when he was forced off during December’s 2-2 draw at home to Wolves.
Postecoglou continued: “Of the longer-term [injuries], Destiny is back in team training as well, which is good. He’s ticked all the boxes in terms of getting through his rehab and conditioning, so he’s part of the squad.”
