Football Bad News for Tottenham: Maddison Out Until July with Knee Injury
James Maddison, Tottenham's star midfielder, is facing a prolonged absence from action after suffering a knee injury last week.
According to reports, Maddison's recovery time is estimated to be around three months, bringing his season to an untimely end[1]. Ange Postecoglou, the Spurs boss, expressed his concerns post their 1-1 draw against West Ham, stating the England international's return isn't looking promising[3].
The midfielder's injury is expected to keep him sidelined until July. The good news for Spurs fans is that he won't need surgery, merely rehabilitation for his suspected ligament damage[2].
With this setback, Maddison is highly uncertain to participate in pre-season training. However, he should be fit and ready to return for the commencement of the new campaign[1].
Despite Maddison's pronounced absence, Tottenham's aspirations for success in the Europa League remain alive. Maddison played a crucial role in the competition, scoring their second goal in the 3-1 semi-final victory over Bodo/Glimt[3].
Meanwhile, Lucas Bergvall, another midfielder, has ruled out the remaining part of the season due to an ankle injury sustained days before the first leg[3]. Captain Son Heung-min, out with a foot injury since recent matches, has been training solo and his participation in the upcoming Norway trip remains questionable[3]. Dominic Solanke, also injured in the Bodo/Glimt match, missed the West Ham draw but is optimistic about returning for the Europa League clash[3].
