Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has given a devastating update on James Maddison’s injury ahead of the Europa League semi-final second leg against Bodo Glimt in midweek.

“It doesn’t look good. We’re waiting for more information. We’ll have to wait and see. Hopefully we’ll have some clarity tomorrow (Monday). เล่นเกมคาสิโน UFABET ทันสมัย ฝากถอนง่าย To be honest, it doesn’t look very promising but I’ll have to wait and see,” said Ange.

Maddison picked up the injury in the first leg, which saw Spurs win 3-1 at home, and was not in the Premier League for the 1-1 draw at West Ham.

Dominic Solanke, who sealed the victory in the midweek, was also not involved against the Hammers because of a knock.

But Postecoglou was more positive about the striker’s prospects for the return leg in Norway.

Postecoglou told BBC Sport: “Dom is improving. We expect him to be OK for Thursday. We just left him out [against West Ham] to recover more.”

“But the medical team are pretty confident he should be right for Thursday.”

Tottenham captain Son Heung-min has also returned to training after almost a month on the sidelines, but the club confirmed recently that midfielder Lucas Bergvall is likely to miss the remainder of the season with an ankle injury.

Dominic Solanke,who suffered a thigh injury in the same game, is likely to be available in time, and Postecoglou said the medical team were confident he would be available for Thursday’s game.

“Dom is improving. We made the decision not to play him today, but the medical team are quite confident he’ll be available for Thursday,” added Ange.
