James Maddison Injuries

'It's most likely he has a bad injury, we need to be honest with that, it's the same knee as the previous injury. Of course, we don't know the full assessment of it, so we need to see that.' 'We can confirm that James will undergo surgery for a ruptured Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) in his right knee. His surgery will take place in the coming days, and following that, James will then begin his rehabilitation with our medical team.' 'It's very early stages. It's still a long-term injury, so it's good to see him out there, but very early stages. There's no specific time frame. It will be a long time, unfortunately, before he's available.' 'Maddison as well. We hope the medical staff will make us some nice surprise in the next weeks, which would be very important. He is already doing interesting things as well with the ball, sprinting as well. I saw him. He is positive.' 'I don't know yet [when he returns]. I don't want to push too much. I'm used to waiting for the players... because it's better to lose one game more than to take a risk for another new injury.' 'No, he's not available yet. Especially this week, he felt pain, but not a so important problem. Tomorrow he will come with us on the bench because it's important if he plays or not. It doesn't matter. It's better if he plays, for sure, but also as a guy, as a leader, as a positive guy inside my dressing room. I want to see nice people and positive people, and it's important also for his teammates.' 'I would like to play with him because he's a special player, he's a different player, but we have to consider the physical condition, a lot of things, but I think he can be important in the next three games.' 'I'm thinking about James Maddison because I'm watching a top, top player. Maybe he's not ready yet to play, but as a physical condition, for the rhythm, for the intensity of the game. We are playing in the Premier League, the most difficult league in terms of intensity and rhythm, but as a player, he's great.'

'Both of them felt something niggly. It just made sense to take them off and protect them a little. Madders felt a tweak in his knee, but it doesn't sound like it's anything serious.' 'Madders is a bit more of a concern as it's a knee, we've sent him for a scan.' 'It doesn't look great, but we're just waiting for further information. Hopefully, we'll probably get some clarity [on Monday]. It's fair to say it doesn't look promising, but I'll just wait and see.' 'Unfortunately, Madders last week hurt his knee, and it looks like he's got an issue there. That'll keep him out for the rest of the season, which is disappointing.' 'James has been doing rehab, but in the last couple of sessions he's been doing part sessions [with the rest of the squad], so that's also a positive. He's getting closer.' 'Madders is looking better and better, could also be too early for Arsenal, again, we'll see.'

'He is fine. Unbelievable courage in that moment to put his body on the line, knowing full well that he was going to get a pretty severe knock. He is sore, but I’m sure that has all been numb, knowing that he has helped us progress to the semi-finals!’ 'It's fair to say he'll probably be a bit sore, so he's probably a doubt for Monday. The rest of the group, again, all worked hard, so they'll be sore, but they should all be OK.'

'He was still a bit sore from the other night [vs Hoffenheim]; it took a fair bit out of the group. He wasn't 100 per cent, so yeah, he misses out today. Hopefully, he should be alright for next week.' 'Madders has got a calf strain. So, he is probably two- or three-weeks [out] for us.' 'Madders is around the same time as well - 10 days' time.' 'Madders is a little bit ahead of schedule. He’s feeling really good. We were thinking maybe [it'll be] next week for him, but he’s trained really well, and he’s had the least amount of time out, so he’s looking in a good place.'

'He got a knock on the ankle; we were down one man already. It made sense to make a couple of changes at that point.' 'He got quite a significant ankle injury the other night and was sent for scans. It wasn't great, so he'll be out for a period of time, probably into the new year as well.' 'They're progressing, but they're nowhere near being in the reckoning for any first-team duties yet.' 'Madders' is back training with the group, which is good. So he's feeling good.'

'Jorginho kicked my knee, and my leg just jolted a bit. I've done about six interviews and haven't actually seen the physios yet, so I'm going to get it checked out in a sec.' 'Madders and Sonny trained today, but we will see they how they pull up from training. They both got through everything we needed them to get through.'

'We've been pretty careful with him. There was no real push to have him available; we left it up to him. He trained fully, unrestricted, and we'll see how he is and make a final call tomorrow, but it looks like he'll be available.'
