Thomas Frank provides immediate James Maddison injury update after ‘brutal’ moment against Newcastle
James Maddison was forced off against Newcastle United with a serious-looking ankle injury.
The Tottenham Hotspur vice-captain was stretchered off having awkwardly landed on his ankle, which saw him collapse to the ground in a lot of pain.
Maddison has only just returned from injury, but now he looks to have suffered a new issue, which looks to be quite severe.
Tottenham missing out on Morgan Gibbs-White now looks to be even more of a blow with both Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski sidelined.
Thomas Frank reveals James Maddison suffered “bad injury”
Spurs manager Thomas Frank has revealed that James Maddison has suffered “what looks like a bad injury”, according to Craig Hope.
The Danish manager has described the injury as a “brutal” moment for the 28-year-old, who was making just his second appearance since returning from his injury.
The former Leicester City player has a worrying injury record, hence why Spurs were looking at doing a deal for a player like Gibbs-White.
Tottenham have a list of alternatives for Gibbs-White, but these plans will now need to be accelerated following his fellow countryman’s injury.
TBR Football understands that Harvey Elliott, Alejandro Garnacho, James McAtee and Jacob Ramsey were other attackers being targeted by Spurs.
The North London club have just under two weeks to prepare for the UEFA Super Cup against PSG, and currently they are without a number ten.
James Maddison’s worrying injury record for Tottenham
Tottenham will have been well aware of Maddison’s worrying injury history since his move to North London.
The midfielder missed 11 matches last season and 13 during his first season at the club, meanwhile, he suffered 15 different injuries at Leicester.
| Injury | Games missed |
| Knee injury | 6 |
| Calf injury | 5 |
| Ankle injury | 13 |
| Total | 24 |
Daniel Levy will now need to start work on looking to bring a creator to Frank’s squad, with Son Heung-min having also departed.
The Lilywhites have been using Pape Matar Sarr in the number ten role during pre-season, which shows how desperate they have become.
In training, Lucas Bergvall played in the ten role, but it’s evident that a real creator is now required in what will be a real worry for the new Spurs boss.
