Alasdair Gold says one Tottenham player has avoided injury in pre-season after ‘worrying’ incident
Tottenham’s pre-season has got off to a bright start.
Spurs beat Hearts comfortably this week to get the ball rolling for the 2024/.25 season, and there were plenty of stories to come out of that game.
Archie Gray was lauded for his strong performance at centre-back, while Mikey Moore also earned plaudits.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Alasdair Gold has been discussing this game, and he says that James Maddison looked very sharp on his first outing of the season.
However, according to Gold, there was a worrying moment when Maddison stayed down with an injury as the journalist noted that the midfielder kept getting kicked during the game.
James Maddison kept getting kicked
Gold shared what he noticed about Maddison during the game.
“Maddison, he looked sharp, he was good. He was getting lumps kicked out of him as he always does, and one was a little bit worrying as he was down for a couple of minutes, but everything seemed to be fine, at least Ange indicated after the game that everyone was fine,” Gold said.
Maddison injuries are a problem
James Maddison is a fantastic player, but he may have another frustrating season if he keeps getting targeted in this way.
Maddison has been prone to injury over the past few years, with numerous ankle problems plaguing the midfielder, and, by the sounds of it, those issues haven’t fully subsided.
As Gold says, there is no major issue with Maddison right now, but the fact that he’s getting knocks in the first game of pre-season isn’t ideal.
Fingers crossed Maddison can stay injury free this season.
