James Maddison, Tottenham midfielder, sustained a serious injury during a pre-season draw against Newcastle. He pulled up off the ball with seven minutes remaining in the match, needing to be stretchered off in visible discomfort. Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank expressed concern, indicating that Maddison might have re-injured the same knee affected earlier in his career. The match also held emotional significance for teammate Son Heung-min, who was deeply affected while witnessing the incident.
"Sometimes in life and football things can be both beautiful and brutal. That's what we got today. It looks like with Madders a bad injury and then on the other side unbelievable scenes for Son from his team-mates and the respect from the Newcastle players."
"We're pretty sure it was the same knee he injured before."
