Ange Postecoglou has revealed that the injury that forced James Maddison off the pitch against Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League semi-final is a “concern” as the Tottenham Hotspur manager confirmed that Lucas Bergvall will miss the rest of the season.
Afterwards, Postecoglou said he hoped that Maddison’s injury wouldn’t be too serious but revealed on Friday that the influential midfielder is set for a scan, raising fears that he could miss the return leg in Norway next week.
Postecoglou also said that Dominic Solanke’s injury was “not too bad” but the striker is a doubt to face West Ham on Sunday.
"Lucas looks like the injury is significant enough to keep him out for the rest of the season," Postecoglou said on Friday.
We've sent him for a scan."

Bodo were given some late hope by their late goal and will host next week’s return leg on an artificial pitch at their home ground near the Arctic Circle but Postecoglou said his team will be hard to stop if they repeat their first-leg showing.
“It’s still a game of football,” Postecoglou said on Thursday night.
