James Maddison injury: Tottenham midfielder out for months with torn ACL
The midfielder, 28, suffered the injury during a pre-season game against Newcastle United on Sunday in Seoul and was taken off on a stretcher.
Manager Thomas Frank said it was the same knee that the player injured in May, forcing him to sit out the final part of last season.
In a statement, Tottenham said: 'We can confirm that James Maddison will undergo surgery for a ruptured Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) in his right knee.
'His surgery will take place in the coming days and, following that, James will then begin his rehabilitation with our medical team.
Everyone at Tottenham Hotspur wishes James a full and speedy recovery. We will be supporting him every step of the way.'

Matthew Richardson on his bid to become fastest cyclist in history
'It's almost like yelling in my head, like I can just hear myself almost screaming.' Matthew Richardson is describing the intensity of the build-up that a sprint cyclist experiences before attempting a 200-metre flying lap, two or three laps around the velodrome pedalling furiously out of the saddle, building towards startling speeds of 86 or 87km/h before they are timed over the last 200m. One lap, one rider at top speed against the clock. 'Then you sit down, you dial into the sprint lane and everything goes quiet, and everyone's waiting …' On Thursday, at a velodrome in Konya, Turkey, everyone will be waiting for the clock to register Richardson's time to see whether he has succeeded in his ambition to become the first rider in history to ride 200m in less than nine seconds. He has gone close before, setting a world record of 9.091sec at the Olympics in Paris last year, but five minutes later the record was broken by Harrie Lavreysen, of the Netherlands, whose 9.088 remains the benchmark Richardson will be seeking to eclipse this week.

Furious Championship manager tells personal trainer to pay former Premier League star's wages after injury
ANGRY Preston boss Paul Heckingbottom has blasted a personal trainer over an injury to summer signing Daniel Jebbison. The striker, who arrived on loan from Bournemouth, is out for at least three weeks after picking up an ankle injury on his day off in a private training session. 2 2 That added to a lengthy injury list that includes Will Keane, Brad Potts and Robbie Brady, who all missed Saturday's 1-1 draw at Queens Park Rangers. Former Sheffield United boss Heckingbottom said: "I'm really angry about it. "These trainers work with players and want to put it all over social media to promote their business and are happy to take the money. "They promote their businesses but don't put it out there when they injure a player. "Nobody's advertising that Daniel Jebbison is out injured, so I'll do it for them. "I get it that players want to better themselves - my anger is with people who work with them, but don't suffer when players are injured. "If they sign a piece of paper saying they'll cover a player's wages when he's injured, players can go to them every day. 'If they say they've got insurance and can get us a new striker, no problem. "But they don't do that. There's no accountability. "If one of our players gets injured in our gym, in training or in a match, it's on us. "Jebbo was doing some gym work and rocked his ankle. It's a total accident but it's thrown us. We haven't got big numbers and we need him fit."

'Not punishing Preston anymore' Heckingbottom cited an example of goalkeeper Freddie Woodman, now at Liverpool, who got injured like this last former Sheffield United manager says he has no problem with players doing extra work to help their own game, but he is unhappy at the lack of accountability felt by their trainers in these private sessions."These guys work with these players and they post their work all over social media and they want to promote their business," Heckingbottom added."They're happy to take the money but they don't give us any money back when they injure the players in their sessions."They'll not be posting on social media that Jebbo's out for a month, so I'll tell everyone that when they work with players they can put them out as well."If we injure players or they get injured in a game or in training or in our gym, then it's on us but it's us that suffer."Other people are happy to post all the positives and take the players' money but they don't get any of the negatives out of it."So they're not punishing Preston anymore, it's not happening."
