Madison, who moved from Leicester City to Tottenham in 2023, reportedly injured the same part in the past.

Tottenham wish Madison a full recovery. We will do all the rehabilitation process together,' he said.

Tottenham have already looked for a new offensive midfielder in this summer's transfer window. He attempted to sign Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White by invoking a £60m buyout clause, but persuaded the player to block the move after Nottingham owner Evangelos Marinakis threatened legal action against Tottenham's club and agents.




Then 'There is a lack of attacking midfielders. Dejan Kulusevski is recovering from knee surgery at the end of May and is expected to be difficult to play early in the season"Tottenham temporarily used Papesar as an attacking midfielder, who scored on the pre-season tour. Mohammed Kudus can also play in the midfield."

The vacancy of Son Heung-min (who left for LA FC) should also be filled. Frank aims to strengthen his competitiveness in many ways, but it's not a good start.
