Maddison injury 'doesn't look great' - Postecoglou



Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou says James Maddison's injury "does not look great" as he waits to find out the extent of the problem before Thursday's Europa League semi-final second leg against Bodo/Glimt.

Maddison scored as Spurs overcame the Norwegian side 3-1 in the first leg on Thursday, but was taken off in the second half because of an injury.

The attacking midfielder did not feature in the Spurs matchday squad for their 1-1 draw at West Ham in the Premier League on Sunday.

"It doesn't look great but we're just waiting for further information," said Postecoglou after the game at London Stadium.

"We'll just wait and see. Hopefully we'll probably get some clarity [on Monday].

"It doesn't look promising but I'll just wait and see."

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.
