James Maddison has been forced to withdraw from the England squad due to an ankle injury he sustained during Monday's defeat to Chelsea. This was confirmed by a statement from Tottenham Hotspur, who said that Maddison will remain at Hotspur Way to be treated by the club's medical staff.
The midfielder had been included in Gareth Southgate's squad for the final European Championship qualifiers against Malta and North Macedonia despite suffering a knock in the last week. Unfortunately, the injury has ruled him out of the international break, leaving him a major doubt for Tottenham’s Saturday clash with Wolves.
The 26-year-old has been hugely influential in Spurs’ performance this season, scoring three goals and racking up five assists. His absence will be felt this weekend, especially with Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie both serving suspensions due to red cards they were shown in the 4-1 defeat to Chelsea.
Micky van de Ven, the Dutchman who limped off just after Maddison on Monday night, has suffered a hamstring injury and is expected to be out until the start of 2024. Richarlison meanwhile has confirmed he is set to undergo surgery.
It's been a difficult week for Spurs, with injuries and suspensions taking their toll. Without Maddison and the other players, it will be a challenge for them to take on Wolves this Saturday.
