Thomas Frank relayed the unfortunate news that James Maddison ‘most likely has a bad injury’ as he waits for the full assessment of the damage inflicted in our pre-season match against Newcastle United in Seoul on Sunday.
Just back from a knee injury sustained on 1 May - an injury that kept him out of the UEL final - Madders returned to action for the final 10 minutes against Arsenal in Hong Kong on Thursday and entered the fray at Seoul’s World Stadium with 75 minutes on the clock only to collapse in agony 10 minutes later, clutching his right knee. After treatment, he was stretchered off.
Speaking to SPURSPLAY afterwards, Thomas told us: “It’s most likely he has a bad injury, we need to be honest with that, it’s the same knee as the previous injury. Of course, we don't know the full assessment of it, so we need to see that.”
