Overview
- Maddison left Tottenham’s 3-0 defeat at Brentford after an awkward fall on Saturday and scans later revealed a small fracture to his shoulder.
- Medical updates from club sources and reporting by The Athletic place his recovery at roughly 10 days to two weeks, with Tottenham describing the damage as minor.
- He will miss Wednesday’s Carabao Cup tie with Charlton and is likely to sit out the next Premier League match at Newcastle with availability for later fixtures to be assessed.
- Manager Roberto De Zerbi has said the club will take no risks with his return and Maddison has already done some light training as staff monitor his rehabilitation.
- The setback compounds concerns over Maddison’s ability to build consistent minutes after a ruptured ACL in August 2025 and adds pressure to Spurs’ squad depth and cohesion early in the season.
