Tottenham fans have been left heartbroken once again, as news of James Maddison’s fresh injury blow has sparked outrage and concern across the fanbase.
Tottenham Hotspur have been waiting on further updates concerning James Maddison’s fitness, following the setback he suffered against Newcastle United during the club’s recent pre-season tour of Asia.
Thomas Frank did not mince his words when speaking about the incident, describing it as brutal, given the English midfielder had only just recovered from his previous knee injury sustained back in May.
Now, Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed that James Maddison has suffered an ACL injury and is expected to miss the majority of the new season – a massive blow to both player and club.
Tottenham fans react to James Maddison injury news
Tottenham fans have taken to social media in their numbers to express frustration and heartbreak following the confirmation that James Maddison’s knee injury will require surgery.
Many supporters believe this must now prompt urgent action in the transfer market, particularly in the attacking midfield position, with calls growing for a high-quality replacement to be signed immediately.
One fan wrote: “Surely we buy a high-quality starting CAM with Kulu not back and match fit for a while and Madders basically out for the season.. surely?”
MORE SPURS STORIES
Another added: “Yeah, we are getting relegated.” A third commented: “So we needed an AM before this Maddison so we now need 2 AM’S. Over to you Levy @SpursOfficial.”
A fourth fan said: “Feel for Madders and sad how this just highlights the fact that we do not have any signings coming in when we so desperately need them.”
On the injury news, one supporter added: “We need a full-on James Maddison replacement then. Someone who can slot straight in at a high level and then evaluate Maddison’s level next season. Kulu can rotate with the new guy and get RW minutes. Gutted for him.”
Another supporter summed up the fear within the fanbase: “And now, UCL and SuperCup are not the problems. We need to do something not to be relegated. Seriously, Lange, what are you doing?”
Spurs fans grow frustrated with transfer silence
Tottenham fans have long been vocal about the need for further investment in the squad, particularly in midfield, where depth has been a growing concern.
After the club failed to land Morgan Gibbs-White earlier in the window, Spurs supporters flooded social media with their wishlist of attacking midfielders they believe the club should now prioritise.
