James Madison was injured.
Britain's Daily Mail reported on the 29th (Korea Standard Time), "According to reports, Madison may not be able to play for up to three weeks due to injuries."
Madison has been in pain since the last UEFA Europa League (UEL) match against Hoffenheim and has not played against Leicester City. Coach Enze Postecoglou said he would get better around next week, but journalist Paul O'Keefe, who is good at internal news for Tottenham, said he could miss the match for nearly a month.
He is expected to return to the league in mid-February if he spends up to three weeks at maximum. Chances are high that he will not be able to play in the second round of the English Football League Cup semifinals against Liverpool and the match against Aston Villa in the 32nd round of the FA Cup on March 7, and Manchester United may not be able to play either. Tottenham won 1-0 in the first round of the semifinals, so if it keeps its promise in the second round of the semifinals, it can advance to the final of the EFL Cup, where the trophy is at stake. However, Madison injury is a very bad sign.
The defense already had a lot of injuries. It has been more than a month since several of the main four backers, including Mickey van der Penn, Christian Romero and Destiny Udogi, were missing. Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vikario also left the team due to injury and recruited Antonin Kinski.
The offense was holding up well, but now the offense is collapsing. Brennan Johnson, Timo Werner and Dominic Solanke were out due to injuries. Son Heung-min is really the only main striker left. On top of that, captain Son Heung-min's burden is ridiculously high as Madison, who will help them, is missing.
After the defeat at Leicester City, Son said, "It's really painful. How can I say? We won in the first half, but lost two goals in a short period of time in the second half. It disappointed us, and it was a very disappointing moment. It might have been a bit sloppy, and it is not an individual's mistake, but a team's mistake in general. He lacked concentration and was not perfect. Any team in any position in the Premier League standings can beat us," expressing sorrow at a time when the team is nearing a relegation zone. 토토사이트
