James Maddison to miss at least three games for Tottenham due to injury

Summary

James Maddison is set to miss at least three matches for Tottenham after suffering a minor shoulder fracture. The injury occurred during Tottenham's Premier League opener, a 3-0 loss, where he fell awkwardly while coming on as a substitute. An MRI scan confirmed a small fracture, but Tottenham remains optimistic about his recovery timeline. Maddison had recently returned from a significant knee injury that kept him out for most of the previous season. He is expected to be sidelined for about two weeks but could potentially return in time for a match against Everton on September 12.
