Tottenham hopes for a full and speedy recovery on the 7th (Korea time) 'Madison will undergo surgery for a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee ' Madison, we will apply for every step of your life,' he announced.
In the case of an anterior cruciate ligament rupture, it takes at least 6 months and up to 8 months to recover. Britain's 'BBC' predicted that Madison will miss most of the next season.
Madison took the ground with a substitute in the 30th minute of the second half in two Coupang Play Series games against Newcastle United at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 3rd. However, he left the ground nine minutes later complaining of a knee injury.
Madison was carried off on a stretcher, holding his head in his hands, signaling a serious injury. After the game, I left the stadium on crutches. Coincidentally, the match against Newcastle was a farewell match for Son Heung-min, who moved to LA FC in the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS).
Tottenham manager Thomas Frank said, `Football is both cruel and beautiful. Madison doesn't make an accurate diagnosis, but it doesn't look good, he said. "I think I hurt the same part I hurt before."

He was appointed vice-captain at Tottenham and formed a leading group with Son Heung-min. But the injuries, big and small, held back. Madison scored 16 goals in 75 appearances for Tottenham, but missed the Europa League final against Manchester United, which lifted the trophy.
When Son Heung-min broke up with Tottenham despite his injury, he regretted the breakup, saying, 'You, who joined as a boy 10 years ago, remain a legend, my best friend now. Concerns were real.
Coach Frank faced the worst crisis even before his full-fledged start. Son Heung-min has already left, and Tottenham sought to recruit Morgan Gibbs-White of the same position, but it failed. Nottingham were furious that Tottenham had illegally contacted Gibbs-White without the club's consent.
Tottenham's offer of £60 million (about 112 billion won) 'Buyout' is confidential, and Gibbs-White also claimed to have violated the obligation to keep it. Gibbs-White opts to extend contract with Nottingham rather than move to Tottenham.
To make matters worse, Dejan Kulusevski is recovering from knee surgery in late May. He is currently using Papesar for that position, but there are limitations.
It's Tottenham's tears.
