“James Maddison Injury Blow: Tough Times Ahead for Tottenham”

James Maddison sidelined: What we know so far

Tottenham Hotspur’s star midfielder, James Maddison, has been ruled out for 2-3 weeks following an injury sustained during the recent Europa League match against Hoffenheim.

The injury forced Maddison to miss Spurs’ weekend Premier League clash, where they suffered a 2-1 defeat to Leicester City. Initially, the extent of the injury was unclear, with Spurs insider Paul O’Keefe reporting that Maddison’s calf was under evaluation.

In a subsequent update, O’Keefe confirmed via X (formerly Twitter) that the playmaker is expected to be out for up to three weeks. Maddison’s absence is a blow for manager Ange Postecoglou, as the midfielder had started to find consistent form in the team this season.

This setback means Maddison could miss key fixtures, including the Carabao Cup semi-final against Liverpool and the FA Cup clash with Aston Villa. He joins a growing injury list, which includes Solanke, Johnson, Werner, Odobert, and Vicario.

Further updates on Maddison’s recovery are expected in the coming days.
