Injury Knee
Est. Return 10/4/2025
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Maddison's story last season was similar to many other Tottenham players, as he was hampered by injuries. He finished with 16 goal contributions despite playing the fewest minutes he's played in a Premier League campaign, just 1,816. If he can stay fit, he could play a key role in Thomas Frank's system as the creator in the center of the pitch, connecting the defense to the offense. If things go well and he's healthy for 30-plus matches, it wouldn't be surprising if he surpassed 20 goal involvements, similar to his peak at Leicester City.
Suffers bad setback
Maddison suffered a bad setback from his knee injury in Sunday's pre-season friendly against Newcastle in South Korea and was stretchered off the pitch late in the game, coach Thomas Frank confirmed in a press conference. "It's most likely he has a bad injury, we need to be honest with that, it's the same knee as the previous injury. Of course, we don't know the full assessment of it, so we need to see that."
ANALYSIS
Maddison will need to be assessed in the coming days after suffering a serious-looking setback to his previously injured knee. This is unfortunate news since the Spurs playmaker had just returned from a long-term injury, and the setback will likely cause him to miss another extended period, including the start of the Premier League. His timeline for return is still unknown, but his absence could allow newcomer Joao Palhinha to take on a larger role in the Tottenham midfield from the outset.
