Tottenham Hotspur Injury Update: James Maddison Latest Details, Recovery Timeline

Tottenham Hotspur’s injury woes have become even more dreadful with James Maddison joining the injury list. Easily their most creative player since arriving from Leicester City back in 2023, the 28-year-old has scored 9 goals and has one assist in 31 appearances this season. His team has sorely missed him in his absence, languishing at the 16th spot in the Premier League as we speak.

At the same time, Spurs also have the Europa League to look forward to, currently leading 3-1 as they head into the second leg of the semis against FK Bodø/Glimt. In such a scenario, Maddison joins an injury list that has already been thriving.

Currently, Dominic Solanke, Son Heung-Min, Lucas Bergvall and now James Maddison are all sidelined. The England international started in Spurs’ dominant victory over Bodo/Glimt in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League semi-final, but picked up a serious injury which forced him to leave the game.

The injury suffered is expected to affect further plans for Tottenham Hotspur. In our James Maddison injury update, we will get a detailed overview of how the attacking midfielder faced the injury, the latest update on the situation, the impact of the blow on the club, his possible replacements, and his return to action date.

James Maddison Injury Update

Maddison has sustained a knee injury and is very likely to miss the rest of the season for Tottenham Hotspur. He is also likely to miss the start of next season as the injury is expected to take around four months for him to completely recover from.

Impact Of James Maddison’s Injury On Tottenham Hotspur’s Squad And Strategy

Tottenham Hotspur have had a horrible season in the Premier League and are currently in 16th place with 38 points from 35 games, winning 11 matches, drawing five, and losing a staggering nineteen. They have been knocked out of all other competitions, barring the UEFA Europa League, which means all their eggs are in one basket. Tottenham Hotspur have no chance to make it close to the top six now, let alone the top four.

Hence, they will do their best to hold onto their 3-1 lead against Bodo/Glimt in the second leg of the UEL semi-final. They are likely to face Manchester United in the final if they go through since their fellow Premier League club have a three-goal lead on aggregate in the other semifinals.

Possible Replacements And Tactical Adjustments

James Maddison is one of the best number 10s currently. He brings a lot to the game with his incisive passes, ability to control the tempo of the game, and his eye for goal. His 12 goals and 11 assists for Spurs in 45 appearances across all competitions are a bonus as well. Naturally, it is very difficult to replace such a player of his caliber, but Ange Postecoglou can possibly field Yves Bissouma or Dejan Kulusevski in his place.
