After playing a starring role in the North London derby yesterday, James Maddison should be feeling pretty happy with himself. However, the Spurs star picked up a knock in that game and has revealed how he feels about the potential injury.
James Maddison has made a great start to his Tottenham career since joining the club from Leicester City in the summer. With 2 assists for captain Heung-min Son against Arsenal, Maddison now has 6 goals this season (Transfermarkt).
The match earlier this season with the Gunners ended in a 2-2 draw, meaning both teams maintained their unbeaten starts to the Premier League season. While Spurs were happy with their away points, the north London club had some problems in the match.
Both Brennan Johnson and Maddison required treatment throughout the match. If the first player leaves the field immediately, the second player plays a little longer before being replaced by Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

The latest update on Maddison’s condition comes from the Evening Standard, which claims the 26-year-old left Emirates Stadium without crutches or ice and appeared to be in good condition. However, it was announced that Spurs would carry out “additional testing” on their star player to assess the damage.
Speaking on the issue, Maddison said:
“There was a moment when I tackled Jorginho, my knee shook a little bit. You never want to play in a derby where you’re not at 100% because that can cost the player dearly for the team, so I had to withdraw during that time. just a short amount of time.

I really hope Maddison is nothing serious. The fact that he left the stadium without any problems is obviously a good sign, but you never know. He has been so important to us this season that it would be worrying to think about what we would do without him now.
