Midfielder carried off on a stretcher in Newcastle friendly

Departing Son given a standing ovation after substitution
James Maddison sustained a serious looking knee injury as Tottenham’s pre-season tour of Asia concluded with a draw against Newcastle in Seoul on Sunday. The England international was carried off on a stretcher and appeared to be in obvious pain after going down unchallenged late in the game.
Maddison, 28, missed the closing stages of last season, including the Europa League final, with a knee problem and his latest injury affects the same joint. The Spurs head coach, Thomas Frank, said: “I think sometimes in life and football things can be both beautiful and brutal – that’s what we got today. It looks like with Madders a bad injury, and then on the other side unbelievable scenes for Son from his teammates and the respect from the Newcastle players.”
