James Maddison left Tottenham’s preseason friendly with Newcastle United on a stretcher with what appeared to be a serious injury after falling to the ground holding his knee during the game in South Korea.
Maddison appeared as a late substitute during the match, which acted as a farewell to Son Heung-min in his native country after the club captain announced his departure.
The midfielder did not appear to make any contact with an opponent when he suddenly went down after chasing the ball and held his face in his hands.
“James Maddison’s injury looks bad,” admitted Spurs manager Thomas Frank. “It was a brutal moment.”
