The Football Interview airs on BBC One at 12:45 every Saturday during the Premier League season, with the first episode featuring Tottenham’s James Maddison on August 22. Maddison discussed the challenges of managing life with five young children while recovering from a serious knee injury that sidelined him for most of the 2025-26 season. He shared how his partner’s pregnancy provided a positive distraction and expressed eagerness to return to football. Despite difficulties, Maddison remains optimistic about his fitness and the upcoming season under new coach Roberto de Zerbi.
