Maddison Injury Concern Ahead of Europa League Clash, Says Postecoglou

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has expressed concern over James Maddison’s fitness, admitting the midfielder’s injury “doesn’t look great” ahead of Thursday’s Europa League semi-final second leg against Bodo/Glimt.

Maddison, who scored in Spurs’ 3-1 first-leg victory over the Norwegian side, was forced off during the second half due to the injury and subsequently missed Sunday’s 1-1 Premier League draw with West Ham.

Speaking after the match at London Stadium, Postecoglou said: “It doesn’t look great, but we’re still waiting for more information. Hopefully, we’ll get some clarity on Monday.”

While Maddison remains a doubt, there is more optimism surrounding striker Dominic Solanke, who also missed the West Ham fixture due to a knock but could return in time for the trip to Norway.

Postecoglou’s side will be hoping to maintain their advantage as they seek a spot in the Europa League final.
