James Maddison withdraws from England squad due to ankle injury, spurs' options diminished

Posted : 10 November 2023
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder James Maddison has withdrawn from the England squad due to an ankle injury he sustained during the team's 4-1 loss to Chelsea. Maddison's early substitution in the game was a result of concerns regarding his left ankle. Tottenham confirmed he would undergo rehabilitation at the club, ruling him out of England's UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers against Malta and North Macedonia.
 
This injury adds to a list of absentees at Tottenham, with Maddison unlikely to feature in the upcoming match against Wolverhampton Wanderers. His withdrawal joins other sidelined players, including Micky van de Ven due to a hamstring issue, and the suspended Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie, following their red cards in the recent turbulent game against Chelsea.
 
Amid concerns over various injuries among the called-up players, England manager Gareth Southgate highlighted the complexity of assembling the squad due to the sensitivity of club information. Although there are doubts regarding some players' availability, Southgate expressed confidence in the rest of the squad's readiness.
 
James Maddison's notable contributions to Tottenham, with three goals and five assists in his initial 11 games since his move from Leicester City, position him as a crucial player, despite his recent injury setback. His absence from the England squad further complicates the team's strategies, with varying levels of doubt among the called-up players.
 
Tottenham's upcoming match against Wolverhampton Wanderers, scheduled for November 11, will likely proceed without Maddison's participation, affecting both club and international engagements. The midfielder's absence poses a challenge for both his club and the England national team in their upcoming fixtures.
