TOTTENHAM have confirmed star man James Maddison will be sidelined until the new year after discovering his injury is 'a lot worse' than first expected.<\/strong><\/p>\n The ex-Leicester City attacker suffered the blow during Spurs\u2019 4-1 home defeat to Chelsea on Monday.<\/p>\n The 26-year-old was substituted in the first half after picking up a problem with his ankle.<\/p>\n Fears of the severity of the damage seemed to have been allayed when England boss Gareth Southgate named him in his latest squad when he announced it on Thursday.<\/p>\n However, Tottenham announced earlier that Maddison has withdrawn from Three Lions duty and will stay at the club to continue his recovery.<\/p>\n He has undergone a series of examinations this week to try and establish the extent of the damage on his ankle.<\/p>\n We revealed that there were growing concerns that Maddison was facing a lengthy spell out.<\/p>\n And now Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou has provided the grim update on his \u00a345m summer signing in his pre-match press conference ahead of tomorrow\u2019s clash at Wolves.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cMadders a lot worse than we first thought. Was bad the next day. Again into the New Year with him.\u201d<\/p>\n The prospect of being without Maddison, who has shone for the North London club so far this term, long-term will come as a bitter blow to the Aussie amid his growing list of absentees.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Fellow forward Richarlison is already sidelined after he revealed he was suffering \u201cunbearable pain\u201d from his hospital bed after surgery to rectify a pelvis problem.\u00a0<\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n But Micky van de Ven is set to avoid surgery after his hamstring injury but is still unlikely to play again this year.<\/p>\n The defender, who is 22 and joined last summer for \u00a343m from Wolfsburg, was another casualty of Monday's dramatic derby against Chelsea at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.<\/p>\n He, Maddison and Richarlison now join Ivan Perisic, Manor Solomon and Ryan Sessegnon on the sidelines for high-flying Spurs.<\/p>\n Postecoglou also heads to Molineux without both Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie after their sending-offs against Chelsea.<\/p>\n Romero will be suspended for the next three games while Udogie has been issued with a one-match suspension.<\/p>\n Postecoglou added: \u201cThere's a fair bit happened after Monday night. Micky with a hamstring injury we knew was fairly significant. We're looking at a couple of months into the new year.<\/p>\n \u201cRicharlison the operation that we had kind of scheduled anyway with the international break. With him a month out.<\/p>\n \u201cWe've got a couple of suspensions. Ben Davies is back and available. Pedro [Porro] is fine, he's been back in training.<\/p>\n \u201cIt's maybe the first time in my career where we've had such a disruption from one game.\u201d<\/p>\n
