The midfielder James Maddison have been excluded for the next qualifying matches for Euro 2024 England against Malta and North Macedonia due to an ankle injury, as his club confirmed this Friday, the Tottenham Hotspur.
The 26-year-old was substituted in first-half stoppage time in Spurs’ 4-1 home defeat against rivals Chelsea after falling to the ground. The match ended coach Ange Postecoglou’s unbeaten start to the season.
Maddison has three goals and five assists in 11 Premier League appearances since moving to north London from relegated Leicester City in June. He joins a long injury list at Spurs that includes Micky van de Ven, Richarlison, Ivan Perisic, Ben Davies and Manor Solomon.
“We can confirm that James Maddison has been withdrawn from the England squad due to an ankle injury,” Spurs told X. “(Maddison) will remain at Hotspur Way for rehabilitation with the club’s medical staff.”
Second-placed Spurs, who are one point behind leaders Manchester City after 11 games, visit Wolverhampton Wanderers tomorrow, Saturday. England face Malta in Group C at Wembley next Friday and travel to North Macedonia three days later.
