James Maddison will be out of the Tottenham team for a spell.

Due to an ankle injury he sustained recently, the midfield player will be sidelined till the new year.

Fans of the Spurs are understandably concerned that the midfielder’s absence could ruin their season, and those who play fantasy football are unsure of what to do with their remaining Spurs assets.

Glen Murray has been talking about Heung-Min Son on the BBC Fantasy 606 Podcast since Maddison’s injury.
