Tottenham receive shocking news after parting ways with Son Heung-min.

Following Son Heung-min's departure, Tottenham received further bad news: James Maddison has to undergo surgery for a serious knee injury and is expected to miss the entire 2025/26 season.

The English midfielder had to be stretchered off the pitch after a knee injury sustained in a friendly match between Tottenham and Newcastle last week.

James Maddison has just undergone some medical tests in London, and initial fears of a torn anterior cruciate ligament have proven true.

This is a double nightmare for new manager Thomas Frank, as he will be without Maddison for much of the upcoming 2025/26 season.

The statement on the Spurs website read: "James Maddison will undergo surgery to treat a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee."

The 28-year-old midfielder was injured during a pre-season friendly against Newcastle in Seoul. Surgery will be performed soon, and James will begin his rehabilitation process with the Spurs medical team.

Everyone wishes James a speedy recovery. We will continue to support him throughout his treatment and recovery from surgery."

James Maddison's injury has forced Tottenham to return to the transfer market, despite having already signed Mohamed Kudus from West Ham for £55 million.

The reigning Europa League champions also missed out on Morgan Gibbs-White despite being ready to activate his release clause. Nottingham Forest reacted strongly and threatened legal action for Tottenham's illegal approach to the player.
