With Tottenham Hotspur heading towards the end of the season, the injury to key midfielder James Maddison has taken a toll.

Madison contributed to his team's 3-1 victory by scoring the first goal in the first leg of the Europa League semifinals against Bodo/Glimt on the 2nd (Korea time), but was replaced by a knee injury in the second half.

Immediately after the game, coach Anji Postecoglou expressed optimism, saying, "I don't think it's a serious injury," but a detailed examination revealed that the situation was much more serious.

Postecoglou also reversed his previous opinion at an official press conference after the Premier League match against West Ham on Saturday, saying, "As things stand now, I am not hopeful. The exact news will come out on Monday."
Since then, a number of leading local reports have even reported that Madison is certain to be out of the season, raising concerns among fans.

British public broadcaster 'BBC' reported on the 6th that "Madison is in a difficult state to play in the rest of the season," adding, "A thorough examination is currently underway over the possibility of knee ligament damage, and the extent of the injury will be determined within 48 hours."

Britain's "Daily Mail" also reported the season out as a fact, saying, "Madison is unlikely to be able to return for the remaining three weeks."

Madison's injury is fatal at a time when Tottenham are looking to advance to the final of their first European tournament in 16 years.

Tottenham is set to play the second leg of the Europa League semi-final against Bohdo/Glimt in Norway on the 9th, and has won 3-1 in the first leg to gain an advantage in advancing to the finals.

However, Madison, who is in charge of creative play in the midfield, will inevitably lead to a power leak. Even if he advances to the final, it is certain that Madison will not be able to play in the game, which is scheduled in Bilbao, Spain on Tuesday.
The bigger problem is that it is not just Madison's injury. Tottenham is severely restricted in its squad management with several key players on the injured list at the same time.

For instance, Son has been sidelined for the last five consecutive games due to a foot injury, and it is uncertain whether he will return to the team. Son has been doing solo training for his rehabilitation, while Postecoglou said, "He is practicing on the grass every day. "We will know whether we will play in Norway on the 9th or not only by looking at the condition of the day," he said.
The London newsletter 'Evening Standard' estimates that Son Heung-min will be able to return as the second leg of the Europa League semifinals, but there is no clear guarantee yet.

Striker Dominique Solanke was also replaced during the first game against Bodhi/Glimt, complaining of pain in the quadriceps of the femur, and also missed the subsequent match against West Ham.

Postecoglou said, "The compulsory team sees it positively. I think we can recover by Thursday," referring to Solanke's chances of recovery, but his participation remains uncertain.

Tottenham has to play an away game to advance to the Europa League final with both Son Heung-min and Solanke not completely attacking options.
Another bad news here is Lucas Veribal's season out, which was reported last week. Veribal, who was considered one of Tottenham's top promising midfielders this season, suffered a ligament injury in his ankle during his final training session ahead of the first leg against Bodhi/Glimt and was later ruled out for the season.

In particular, the injury is all the more painful because he recently signed a six-year contract with Tottenham and was attracting attention as a prospect who will be responsible for the future of the team. "He was having the best moment of the week, and even his family was in London, but his absence was canceled due to injury. He was in a state of great psychological shock," Postecoglou said.

Defender Radu Dragusin is also on the season out list. Dragusin underwent surgery after sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament injury in February and is currently undergoing recovery and rehabilitation. "Dragusin has successfully completed the operation and is now in the process of recovery. It is impossible to return within the season," Tottenham once said.

As such, Tottenham has lost five key or key backup resources: Madison, Son Heung-min, Solanke, Beribal, and Dragusin. In particular, Son Heung-min and Madison are the players responsible for the team's leadership and creative attack development, and the simultaneous departure of the two players could be a major obstacle to the Europa League final.
Meanwhile, Tottenham news outlet "Tottenham Hotspur News" Madison's injury is a significant variable that raises the possibility of a future transfer beyond a simple season out.

The media said, "Madison may have already played his last game at Tottenham," speculating that his life at Tottenham may have ended due to his outings this season.

Madison has recorded a steady point of attack since moving from Leicester City for about £40m (about £73.4bn) in the summer of 2023, but has not played a full season due to frequent injuries.

Currently, other Premier League clubs are interested, and the transfer fee is expected to reach about 50 million to 60 million pounds (about 91.8 billion to 110 billion won).

Tottenham's move this season is expected to vary greatly depending on the results of the second leg of the Europa League semi-final and whether key players will return. 바카라사이트

The biggest concern for Tottenham fans is whether Postecoglou can lead the team to the final despite such unfavorable factors and whether Son Heung-min's return can be realized for now.
