Maddison made an appearance as a late substitute during the 1-1
draw, which was Son Heung-min’s farewell in his home country
after the club captain announced his summer departure.
Maddison was chasing the ball when he fell suddenly, holding his
face in his hands, without any apparent contact with an
opponent.
Thomas Frank, the Spurs manager, Maddison’s teammates, and
staff looked deeply concerned about his injury.
Frank acknowledged that “James Maddison’s injury looks bad,”
adding that “It was a brutal moment.”
Frank also stated that Maddison missed the end of last season
due to the same knee injury. As he recovered from his early May
injury, he was increasing his preseason playing time.

Son Heung-min receives guard of honor
Son received a guard of honor ahead of the match at the Seoul
World Cup Stadium in his native South Korea and was visibly
emotional as he emerged from the tunnel at the match’s
conclusion.
In a press briefing with Tottenham’s new manager, he announced
his decision to leave the club this summer. “Respectfully, the
club is supporting me with this decision.”
“It was the most difficult decision I have made in my career.
Such amazing memories. It was so hard to make the decision,” Son
expressed.
The new manager is already feeling the absence of the departing
Son and the injured Dejan Kulusevski, while attempts to sign
Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White were firmly rejected.
West Ham sold Mohammed Kudus, and Bayern Munich signed Mathys
Tel on a permanent deal following a loan last season.
Additionally, Spurs are interested in acquiring Joao Palhinha
from the Bundesliga champions.
