Midfielder carried off on a stretcher in Newcastle friendly
Departing Son given a standing ovation after substitution
James Maddison suffered a serious knee injury as Tottenham’s pre-season tour of Asia ended with a draw against Newcastle in Seoul on Sunday. The England international was carried off on a stretcher, showing obvious pain after collapsing unchallenged late in the match.
Maddison, 28, missed the final stages of last season, including the Europa League final, due to a knee issue, and this recent injury affects the same area. Spurs head coach Thomas Frank stated: “Sometimes in life and football, things can be both beautiful and brutal – today was one of those times. It seems to be a severe injury for Madders, contrasted by the incredible scenes for Son from his teammates and the respect from the Newcastle players.”
