JAMES MADDISON issued a positive injury update after being spotted on crutches following Tottenham's 2-0 win over Manchester United on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The Lilywhites cruised to victory over the Red Devils thanks to a fantastic finish from Pape Sarr and an own goal from Lisandro Martinez.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
However, the result was marred after star signing Maddison was spotted leaving the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on crutches.<\/p>\n
The midfielder, who went down in the second half but completed the game, was seen hobbling through the mixed zone with his ankle in a protective boot.<\/p>\n
But despite the initial concern, he told reporters that it was just precautionary.<\/p>\n
Maddison joined Tottenham in a \u00a345million transfer from Leicester in June.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He has since become a fan favourite at the club.<\/p>\n
The midfielder has provided two assists in two Premier League games for the Lilywhites.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
And he was named vice captain of the club last weekend following the departure of Harry Kane, who joined Bayern Munich in a \u00a3104m transfer.<\/p>\n
Maddison was also handed Kane's iconic shirt number following the striker's exit.<\/p>\n
