Second set of twins a good distraction from injury - Maddison
Tottenham midfielder James Maddison says having five children aged four and under - including a second set of twins - helpfully distracted him from his ACL injury last season.
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder James Maddison has shared how he and his partner navigated a challenging year together during his long-term injury. The 29-year-old suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in August 2025, forcing him to miss most of the 2025-26 season. During his recovery, Maddison and his partner welcomed their second set of twins, which Maddison described as the toughest year of his life. However, he credits his family for helping him stay positive and distracted from his injury.
