Tottenham midfielder James Maddison has suffered a ‘bad knee injury'
Maddison came off the bench in the second half of Tottenham's 1-1 draw with Newcastle United at the Seoul World Cup Stadium in South Korea on Sunday.
He was only on the pitch for around 10 minutes before he dropped to the floor off the ball after Newcastle's goalkeeper Martin Dubravka kicked the ball out for a throw-in.

Maddison was in visible pain and the doctors treated him on the pitch while his team-mates surrounded him. It appeared that the medical staff were checking out the 28-year-old's right knee.
The England international has only just recovered from a knee injury he suffered in the first leg of Tottenham's semi-final victory over Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League.
Maddison left the pitch on a stretcher and was replaced by Yang-min Hyeok.
'Sometimes life and football can be brutal but also sometimes very beautiful,' Frank said. 'It was brutal what happened to Madders. It looks like a bad injury. We don't know exactly the status of it. It didn't look good.'
Frank was then asked for the exact nature of the midfielder's injury and said: 'We are pretty sure it is the same knee he had the previous injury in.'
Tottenham's draw with Newcastle was the final game of their pre-season tour to East Asia after they beat Arsenal 1-0 in Hong Kong on Thursday.
They face Bayern Munich next week before their season starts with the UEFA Super Cup against Paris Saint-Germain on August 13 in Italy.

Former Steelers LB claims Pittsburgh lied to him: ‘It hurts'
This article originally appeared on Former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Robert Spillane was a team and fan favorite during his four-year tenure in the Steel City. However, he revealed it wasn't enough to receive another contract, even though he thought one was coming. Spillane joined the Steelers in 2019 and improved his production every year until he became a free agent following the 2022 season. He eventually signed a two-year deal with the Las Vegas Raiders, but that wasn't his ideal scenario. 'Before I went into free agency, [the Steelers] told me, 'Go out, test the market, see what you get. We're gonna offer whatever they give you. We wanna make you a Steeler. We love you,''Spillane said on the Bussin' With The Boys podcast. 'I call them, 'I got an offer from the Raiders. I want to come back, what's the deal?' They were like, 'Good luck, have fun.''

NFL Preseason News: Browns' Kevin Stefanski confirms Shedeur Sanders' start, Panthers' Jimmy Horn Jr. in car crash, Chargers reunite with old friend, Aaron Donald sparks Rams speculation
NFL Preseason News: Browns' Kevin Stefanski confirms Shedeur Sanders' start, Panthers' Jimmy Horn Jr. in car crash, Chargers reunite with old friend, Aaron Donald sparks Rams speculation originally appeared on The Sporting News The NFL preseason is officially underway, and Wednesday's headlines have everything from unexpected starters to nostalgic reunions and even the possibility of a Hall of Famer coming out of retirement. Jaycee Horn involved in car accident, will not practice today The Carolina Panthers will be without cornerback Jaycee Horn for today's joint practice with the Cleveland Browns after being involved in a minor car accident. Horn is 'fine' and didn't suffer any serious injuries, but the team is being cautious, per Darin Gantt of It's the latest setback for Horn, who hopefully isn't injured for a squad who desperately need him in the secondary healthy. Kevin Stefanski confirms Shedeur Sanders will start in preseason opener Shedeur Sanders is finally getting what fans have been calling for. Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed Sanders will start Friday night's preseason opener against Carolina, as announced by @AroundTheNFL. 'Browns coach Kevin Stefanski confirms Shedeur Sanders will start preseason opener vs. Panthers on @nflnetwork; Tyler Huntley only other QB available,' the post stated. This could be exactly the moment Shedeur needs. No one really expected this after he was buried on the depth chart. Now he gets the start with facing not only the highest expectations ever, but in little time. What if he does well? Comes out, leads a drive, and throws a touchdown. Do you take him out? No! You let him keep going. What if he wins? Then, Stefanski doesn't let him have first-team snaps again, the media will run amok with headlines. One must hope Stefanski doesn't sabotage this young man's chance. Chargers reunite with Keenan Allen Just one year after parting ways, the Los Angeles Chargers are bringing back wide receiver Keenan Allen on a one-year deal worth up to $8.5 million, according to Allen, who spent 10 seasons with the team before being traded to the Chicago Bears, now returns to help mentor the Chargers' young receiver room and give quarterback Justin Herbert a trusted veteran target. This reunion also signals the franchise's intent to balance development with familiar stability as the offense continues to evolve under new leadership. Aaron Donald teases unretirement if Rams land Micah Parsons A simple fan-made graphic of Micah Parsons in a Rams uniform sparked an unexpected firestorm of speculation this week. As shared by R.J. Ochoa, Rams legend Aaron Donald commented on the Instagram post saying that if Parsons were to join the Rams, he 'might have to get in football shape.' Parsons responded playfully, but the idea has sent fans spiraling. Imagining a defensive line featuring Donald, Micah Parsons, Jared Verse, and Kobie Turner is the kind of nightmare fuel that would send offensive coordinators to throw their clipboards. It's arguably a scarier unit than if J.J. Watt had joined the Rams instead of the Cardinals in 2021 Donald, for the record, doesn't look retired. In a recent video with Jared Verse about how his time working out with Donald went, he outworked the rookie, a subtle reminder that the GOAT still has plenty in the tank if the moment ever calls for a return.

Los Angeles FC introduces South Korean superstar Son Heung-min amid excitement and ambition
'What can I say? Dream come true. LA, what a city,' said Son, who will wear No. 7 in black and gold. Advertisement Son had suitors from around the globe after he decided to leave Tottenham, and he said the decision to join LAFC initially wasn't obvious. He came around to the idea of moving to MLS after conversations with LAFC general manager John Thorrington, who sold Son on the 8-year-old club's ambition to be an international brand and the most successful club in North America. 'If I'm honest, it was not my first choice,' Son said. 'But [from the] first call when I talked to John after the season finished, he just changed my mind. He changed my heart. He changed my brain. He showed me the destination where I should be. Right now, I'm here. I'm more than happy.' Advertisement Son laughingly said he was also pitched aggressively by Hugo Lloris, his longtime teammate at Tottenham who is now LAFC's starting goalkeeper. Son is South Korea's most popular athlete, and he is widely considered to be the greatest Asian soccer player in history. He said he already feels at home in Los Angeles, which has the world's largest ethnic Korean population outside Korea and a robust base of soccer fans from all backgrounds who appreciate his accomplishments. Son's introductory news conference was attended by Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, South Korea's consul general, several additional politicians, dozens of Korean journalists and dozens of drum-beating, singing fans from the LAFC supporters' group famous for its relentless, raucous noise during matches. Son already got a taste of LAFC fans' passion Tuesday when he attended the club's Leagues Cup victory over Tigres. 'On behalf of millions of Angelenos and soccer fans around the world — Sonny, welcome to Los Angeles,' Bass said. 'This is a moment that will be remembered in the city for generations to come.' Son joins a lengthy list of soccer stars from European leagues who moved to Hollywood for a second act in their careers. Gareth Bale, Giorgio Chiellini and Olivier Giroud have all suited up for LAFC, while the crosstown rival LA Galaxy have welcomed even more European superstars, including David Beckham, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Robbie Keane and Marco Reus. Son did not appear to be in decline during the past season as Tottenham's captain, and he said he is in good game shape after participating in Spurs' summer tour of Asia. He did not set a date for his LAFC debut, but it could be this month. Advertisement 'I just felt like I need a new chapter, I need a new challenge, and I choose LAFC,' Son said. 'I think we can say I'm old, but I still have a good physicality, good legs, and still have a good quality. I'm here to perform, but also I want to give some advice to the young players for improvement. That's why we are here.'
