    Tottenham midfielder James Maddison escaped what could have been a career-ending injury against Arsenal at the Emirate Stadium.

    It could have been a knee injury that will sideline the English star for the rest of the season.

    During the London Derby, Maddison knee-pushed back in the second half of the game, and it appeared that the game was already over.

    After the incident, he went to the ground straight and was groining in some much pain as he was surrounded by Tottenham players.

    However, after he was attended to by the Tottenham Hotspurs medical team, he got back on the field.

    Maddison was later replaced by Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in the 78th minute of the match.

    The fans reacted to the incident via Twitter. One fan said, “I’m injured even looking at this picture.”

    Another one said, “Just in case James Maddison is in need of some spare ankle or knee ligaments, I’m available.”

    The third person wrote, “It didn’t look good initially for James Maddison, whose knee seemed to jolt back when his foot got stuck in the turf.

    “He was in a lot of pain to begin with but seems to have gotten up and seems ready to come back on. Spurs can’t afford to lose him right now.”

    Before Maddison was substituted, he contributed immensely to the success of Tottenham on the field as the game ended in a 2-2 draw.

    He provided two assists for Heung Min Son as Tottenham fought back twice to get a point against Arsenal to remain unbeaten in the Premier League.
