Tottenham fans have been dealt a worrying blow after James Maddison appeared to suffer a suspected groin injury during Spurs’ 2-0 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
The midfielder, who only recently returned from a nine-month spell on the sidelines, was forced off after just 50 minutes, raising fresh concerns about his fitness.
😢 EMOTIONAL SCENES AT STAMFORD BRIDGE
Maddison appeared devastated as he sat on the pitch, seemingly fighting back tears after going down without any opponent near him.
Several Tottenham teammates gathered around to comfort him, while Chelsea players and manager Xabi Alonso also showed their support as he made his way off the pitch.
According to reports from Sky Sports, the England international may have picked up a groin problem.
Former Spurs midfielder Jamie O’Hara expressed his sympathy on talkSPORT, admitting it was painful to see Maddison injured again and questioning whether he could finally stay fit.
⚠️ DE ZERBI’S DECISION UNDER SCRUTINY
Before the match, Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi revealed that Maddison had missed three days of training during the week and admitted he was unsure whether the midfielder was ready to play.
Despite those concerns, De Zerbi named him in the starting XI, hoping his creativity, experience and leadership would make a difference.
Unfortunately, the decision was followed by another worrying setback.
❤️ A GLIMMER OF HOPE FOR SPURS FANS
Despite the injury scare, Maddison later returned to the bench to celebrate Tottenham’s 2-0 win with his teammates.
However, Spurs supporters will now be anxiously waiting for an official update on his condition and how long he could be out.
Will Maddison face another lengthy spell on the sidelines, or is this just a minor setback?
