Tottenham Hotspur's preparations for the new Premier League season have been dealt a significant blow with James Maddison sidelined due to injury. The creative midfielder, who has been instrumental for Spurs, is set for another spell on the treatment table, leaving manager Ange Postecoglou with a selection headache.
Maddison's absence means captain Son Heung-min will likely shoulder even greater responsibility in attack. The South Korean forward, known for his leadership and clinical finishing, will be expected to step up as Spurs aim to maintain their momentum.
Injury Woes Continue for Maddison
The England international has struggled with fitness issues throughout his career, and this latest setback comes at a crucial time. While the exact nature of the injury remains undisclosed, sources suggest it could keep him out for several weeks.
Son Ready to Lead
Son Heung-min, who enjoyed a stellar campaign last season, will now be tasked with providing both goals and creativity in Maddison's absence. His versatility and experience make him the ideal candidate to fill the void.
Tottenham fans will be hoping their captain can inspire the team during this challenging period as they look to build on last season's progress under Postecoglou.
