James Maddison expected to miss rest of season after injuring his knee in the first leg of the Europa League semis.
James Maddison expected to miss the final three weeks of the season with a knee injury.
In last Thursday’s 3-1 victory over Bodo/Glimt in the first leg of the Europa League semi-final, the 28-year-old scored but was later hurt.
Ange Postecoglou, the head coach, spoke positively right after the game.
However, it was discovered on Friday morning that the injury was more severe than initially thought, and further scans have verified this.
Maddison is reportedly being evaluated for knee ligament damage; the degree of this damage will be determined within the next 48 hours, according to sources.
Tottenham, who are in a strong position to advance to the Europa League final with the second leg in Norway on Thursday, May 8, will be dealt a setback by the news.
Speaking following the 1-1 draw with West Ham on Sunday, Postecoglou said: ‘We’ll probably get some clarity [on Monday].
“It is fair to say it’s not looking promising, but we’ll just wait and see.”
