Spurs said: “We can confirm that James Maddison will undergo ­surgery for a ruptured anterior ­cruciate ligament 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.”
