Tottenham midfielder James Maddison to have surgery on ruptured ACL
MANCHESTER, England (AP) — England midfielder James Maddison will undergo surgery for a ruptured ACL, Tottenham said Thursday. Maddison was injured during Spurs' preseason friendly against Newcastle in Seoul. No timeframe was given for his recovery. 'His surgery will take place in the coming days and, following that, James will then begin his rehabilitation with our medical team,' Tottenham said in a statement. 'Everyone at Tottenham Hotspur wishes James a full and speedy recovery.' Recovery from ACL surgery can take between 6-12 months, meaning Maddison is likely to miss the majority of the upcoming season, which starts next week. It is the latest blow for the 28-year-old Maddison, who missed last season's Europa League final with a knee injury.

Not so friendly! Players from Real Betis and Como exchange punches during preseason match in Spain
MADRID (AP) — A preseason friendly between Real Betis and Italian club Como got extra heated, with players exchanging punches and sparking a mass scuffle. There were several rough exchanges in the first half of the match in southern Spain on Wednesday, and Betis player Pablo Fornals and Como midfielder Maximo Perrone then got into an altercation entering halftime. They had a few brief words to each other and then started exchanging blows. Players from both teams rushed in and the altercation escalated. The benches were cleared, with substitutes and staff members entering the field, some trying to break up the fighting. It took several moments before order was reestablished. The referee sent off a player from each team. 'We are competitive and both teams want to win, but in the end there's a line you can't cross in these matches,' Betis midfielder Sergi Altimira said. 'They were making many fouls, stopping the match all the time.' Como, which will face Barcelona in another preseason match on Sunday, won the friendly 3-2. ___ AP soccer:
