James Maddison posts touching message as ‘outstanding’ player back at Hotspur Way
James Maddison was full of kind words for Tottenham teammate Radu Dragusin following his welcome return to Hotspur Way.
Thomas Frank has had injury problems this year, as Yves Bissouma could have played his last game for Tottenham after suffering a ligament issue in October.
Tottenham are hoping for a successful season, but are going to need as many players as possible to stay fit.
Maddison is recovering from an injury himself, but insisted on travelling down to Hotspur Way to support a Dragusin as he made crucial steps towards his own Tottenham comeback.

James Maddison shows support for Radu Dragusin as Spurs return nears
Tottenham revealed on their X account on Wednesday that Radu Dragusin has continued his comeback from injury.
The Lilywhites confirmed that Dragusin played 45 minutes in a behind closed doors friendly against Leyton Orient at Hotspur Way, as Tottenham are hopeful of his return to the first team.
His teammate Maddison came along on his day off to support Dragusin through the match and shared a touching message on Instagram.
Danny Murphy previously called Dragusin “outstanding”, with the centre-back now eager to prove his true quality to the fans.
But with Dragusin back, Frank could be tempted to make major changes.
Thomas Frank could change formation with Dragusin back
Frank already has the likes of Kevin Danso, Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven at Tottenham.
Dragusin ruptured his ACL last season and has been unable to show Frank what he’s made of yet. His return, however, suggests Frank could change things up.
Frank has a very strong defence, and it’s been the main improvement since Ange Postecoglou left.
Tottenham now have the option to switch back to Frank’s preferred three at the back formation, which he has seen so much success with at Brentford.
It could be used as early as the North London derby, as Frank could try to catch the Gunners off guard.
