It’s been nearly a year since Maddison, 29, featured for Tottenham having torn his ACL in a pre-season friendly against Newcastle.
The attacking midfielder finally made his long-awaited return against Leeds, coming on in the 86th minute as a substitute.
Maddison thought he made an immediate impact after he was brought down in the penalty box in added time, but after VAR intervention, it wasn’t given.
Speaking to BBC Match of the Day, Farke, who managed Maddison at Norwich, could hide his delight in seeing him return.
"Yes I'm so happy and delighted for him. It's great to see him back because if you love football and you love a baller then you also love James Maddison,” he said.
“He can be unbelievable and is one of the most creative players in this country.
"Of course it was difficult for him after being out for so long to come into this crunch moment, but the affect he can have, he has shown in the last minutes.
“He was smart, he knows how to win a free-kick or what he has to do in the box, perhaps to win a penalty. Great set pieces, great delivery, a top character.
“Fingers crossed he can stay fit and healthy."
