Tottenham at Bournemouth Team News: Maddison, Adams
James Maddison is the major signing of the summer for Tottenham Hotspur, so when he picked up an ankle problem in the win over Manchester United on Saturday Spurs supporters couldn’t help but gasp.
Turns out it was just a knock, as he was walked out of the stadium on his own power. And while the protective boot on his right foot may seem concerning, it reportedly “just precautionary.”

Maddison should be okay for this one, meaning the only fitness concerns for manager Ange Postecoglou in this one would be the same trio of players that missed out of the season’s first two games.
Bryan Gil, Ryan Sessegnon and Rodrigo Bentancur remain out for another six weeks or so, or thereabouts.
Shifting to the Cherries, new signings Alex Scott (knee) and former Leeds United midfield maven/ USMNT star Tyler Adams (hamstring) are still dealing with injuries.
However, Adam Smith and Lewis Cook could be back in the mix. And finally, the triad of Dango Outtara, Ryan Fredericks and Marcus Tavernier remain out as long-term injury absentees.
