Tottenham fans have been left devastated as an injury update confirms James Maddison is ruled out for the rest of the season.
Tottenham Hotspur have been handed another blow ahead of the Europa League semi-final second leg and a potential final.
It was revealed a few days ago that James Maddison was expected to face a lengthy spell on the sidelines after he picked up a knee injury in Tottenham Hotspur’s 3-1 win against Bodo/Glimt at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
While it was mere speculation at the time, the club was said to be awaiting the results of his scan.
Now, the results of the scan have been revealed, and it is currently being reported by Paul O’Keefe that James Maddison will miss the rest of the season and could face up to three months on the sidelines.

Another added: “Why did my dad support Tottenham. Why was I chosen for this cursed club.”
Another believed that it is over for Spurs with both James Maddison and Lucas Bergvall now out: “Going into a cup final, biggest game for us in six years, with no Bergvall, no Madders… it is so over.”
A different fan believed this news should come as no surprise. He stated: “Why are people acting surprised? It is what the guy does – be injured or disappear when you need him. I hate to break it to you but similar will happen next season. Not a reliable player in any way, shape or form. Hopefully gets replaced in the first eleven going forward.”
Another fan saw the positive side: “Huge blow but lucky it is not ACL,” while a final supporter added: “This has almost ruined my day. Almost. Sad for Madders. It is imperative that every single member of that team patterns up. Seriously.”
Why James Maddison’s absence is a big blow for Tottenham
James Maddison is sure to be a big miss for Tottenham Hotspur, with the midfielder contributing immensely to their Europa League run, scoring goals in the round of 16, winning a penalty in the quarter-final and then grabbing a goal in the semi-final.
He is also joint top for the player with the most goal contributions in the Tottenham squad, with 22 in all competitions.
While there have been spells when the Englishman has struggled for form, it is still a huge blow for Spurs, given that he was hitting form at just the right time.
Tottenham are now set to be without James Maddison and Lucas Bergvall should they make it to the Europa League final.
