Jamie Carragher believes James Maddison could play a crucial role in helping Tottenham avoid relegation. Spurs secured their first win of 2026 with a 1-0 victory at Wolves, but the club's injury woes continue to mount, with Xavi Simons ruled out for the season.
Carragher thinks Maddison, who has been out since August with a torn ACL, may be the only player capable of producing the "magic" needed to keep Tottenham in the Premier League. Despite their win, Spurs remain two points adrift of safety with four games left to play, and Carragher is concerned about their lack of goals compared to relegation rivals Nottingham Forest and West Ham. Former Spurs boss Tim Sherwood also expressed concerns about the club's injury record, suggesting that it may be more than just bad luck and that the club needs to review its approach to player fitness.
