The issue is said to be “more serious than first feared”, with Maddison currently being assessed for potential knee ligament damage. The full extent of the injury is expected to be confirmed within the next 48 hours.
The Englishman had recently worked his way back into Tottenham’s starting XI following earlier rumours that Maddison had fall-out with manager Ange Postecoglou.

His recent form has also been crucial, contributing five goals and assists in the last 10 matches, including key goals against AZ Alkmaar and Bodo/Glimt.
