The English midfielder, known for his playmaking abilities, participated in the North London derby against Arsenal on Sunday. However, during the second half, an alarming moment occurred when his knee twisted as his foot got caught in the turf, initially suggesting the end of his match.
Maddison immediately went down and displayed signs of significant discomfort, prompting his Tottenham teammates to gather around him.
Yet, after receiving prompt treatment from the team’s physiotherapist, he was considered fit enough to continue playing.
Eventually, he was substituted by Pierre-Emile Højbjerg in the 78th minute.
Fans turned to social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their reactions to a distressing photo that circulated online.
One fan commented, “I’m injured even looking at this picture.”
Another offered humour, saying, “Just in case James Maddison is in need of some spare ankle/knee ligaments, I’m available.”
A third expressed concern, stating, “Oh dear, James Maddison’s knee did something that knees shouldn’t do.”
Meanwhile, a fourth fan observed, “Didn’t look good initially for James Maddison, whose knee seemed to jolt back when his foot got stuck in the turf. He was in a lot of pain to begin with but seems to have got up and seems ready to come back on. Spurs can’t afford to lose him right now.”
Maddison, at the age of 26, played a pivotal role in Tottenham’s 2-2 draw against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. The former Leicester City midfielder contributed two crucial assists as Tottenham fought back from both a 1-0 and a 2-1 deficit. Following the match, he was recognized as the man of the match for his outstanding performance.
Maddison’s summer transfer to Spurs for £40 million already appears to be a wise investment, as the No. 10 has provided four assists and scored twice in his first six Premier League appearances for the club.
