It's a bolt out of the blue. Even James Madison (Tottenham) ended the season early due to injury.

Tottenham said on the club's website on the 8th (Korea time) that Madison was excluded for the rest of this season. Coach Enze Postecoglou said Madison will not be able to join the rest of the season. It has been confirmed that the problem is serious.'

"Unfortunately, Madison injured his knee," Postecoglou said. There seems to be a problem. Madison is out for the rest of the season. It's disappointing, and it's disappointing for him. Above all, he has played an important role in the second half of this season, especially on the European stage. He has been a catalyst for many good scenes. It's really disappointing for him, but it's been a constant task to solve this. Another thing we need to overcome."




Tottenham beat Bohd/Glimt (Norway) 3-1 in the first round of the Europa League semifinals in 2024-2025 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 2nd. The second leg of the semifinals will be played at Asmaira Stadium in Nordland, Norway, on the 9th. Opta, which specializes in sports statistics, predicted that Tottenham's chances of going to the finals were 91%.

A variable has occurred. Madison was injured in the first leg of the semifinals. On this day, Madison started the game as a starter. He scored an additional goal in the 34th minute of the first half when his team was leading 1-0. However, in the 18th minute of the second half, he hesitated to sit on the ground complaining of knee pain. It didn't appear to be a major injury at first. However, he failed to play in the English Premier League (EPL) match against West Ham on the 4th. Postecoglou said " (Madison) doesn't look good. We are waiting for additional medical information." British media BBC reported on the 6th that Madison is not expected to play in the last three weeks of this season. Madison appears to have injured his knee ligament.

Concerns have become a reality. Madison's departure puts Tottenham in crisis. Maddison joined Tottenham through the summer 2023 transfer window. He scored 16 goals and 19 assists in 75 games for Tottenham. He scored nine goals and seven assists in 31 league games this season. As a vice-captain, he is also leading the team with Son Heung-min.

Tottenham had 11 wins, 5 draws and 19 losses (38 points) in the league this season. It remains 16th out of 20 teams. He was also eliminated from the Carabao Cup and the English Football Association (FA) Cup. At least, they are continuing their competition to win the Europa League. If Tottenham wins the Europa League, it will be the first official tournament in 17 years since the 2007-2008 League Cup. They can also qualify for the European Champions League (UCL) next season.

The situation is not good. Son Heung-min is also unable to play due to injury. "It is disappointing for Son," Postecoglou told a news conference ahead of the second leg of the semifinal match against Bobo/Glimt. He is earnest in his endeavors. I'm getting better, and I have a chance to play in weekend games, but I haven't done team training yet. But it's getting better. I'll see what happens." Son Heung-min was not seen in the video and photos of the Norwegian away team released by Tottenham on the club's SNS (social network service).
