Tottenham Hotspur has suffered another setback with James Maddison ruled out of the upcoming Premier League match against Nottingham Forest. Head coach Roberto De Zerbi confirmed that Maddison will miss at least two weeks due to a shoulder injury sustained in the opening match against Brentford.

De Zerbi addressed the media during his pre-match press conference, emphasizing the importance of not rushing Maddison back too soon. He stated, "I think no, because after two days after the problem with Brentford and another two weeks out, it’s not the right moment."

This injury is particularly disappointing for both Maddison and Tottenham, as he had recently recovered from a serious ACL tear that sidelined him for most of the previous season. The club is taking a cautious approach to ensure he receives full medical clearance before returning to play.

On a positive note, Tottenham welcomed back Savinho, the 22-year-old Brazilian winger, who has returned to full fitness after missing the squad against Newcastle United due to minor muscle fatigue. De Zerbi confirmed Savinho’s availability, stating, "Savio’s back, yeah," suggesting he will play a significant role in the match against Nottingham Forest.
