Tottenham midfielder James Maddison has suffered an anterior cruciate
ligament injury and is expected to miss the majority of the forthcoming
season.
According to Sources, Maddison is set to have surgery and will become a
long-term absentee as he starts his recovery programme.
The 28-year-old suffered the injury in the pre-season draw against
Newcastle in South Korea last weekend.
Meanwhile, Manager Thomas Frank had confirmed after the match that
Maddison had injured on the same knee that ruled him out of the Europa
League final victory against Manchester United in May.
Since returning from Asia on Monday, Maddison has undergone tests in
recent days to ascertain the severity of the injury. Maddison, a 2023
signing from Leicester City, scored 12 goals in 45 appearances for Spurs
last season.
He has seven England caps, the most recent of which came in 2024.
