James Maddison, who has recently been included in a matchday squad after a lengthy layoff due to an ACL injury, is still not fully ready to feature. De Zerbi clarified that his involvement is largely to provide leadership and influence within the group rather than to contribute on the pitch, underlining his strong presence in the dressing room.
Tottenham’s poor run of form also continues, as they are still without a win in the calendar year under De Zerbi. Their previous match ended in disappointment after they conceded a late equaliser against Brighton & Hove Albion.
The north London club are currently two points from safety with just five games left to play. They now head into a crucial must-win fixture against Wolves, who have already been relegated to the EFL Championship following a goalless draw between West Ham United and Crystal Palace.
