Maddison has always struggled with injuries. One of many reasons I didn’t particularly want him at Spurs.
I feel it’s something the club don’t focus enough when they make signings. Micky for example is another one that probably should have been avoided because of the hamstring issues and his style of play.
Kulusevski confirmed to miss at least the first month of the season.
Let the good times roll.

Maddison had missed 43 games with injuries before joining Spurs. Grealish has missed more than twice that many by the way.
10 games missed a season seems to be about average as far as I can tell. So Maddison is well below average and Grealish about average

Why has he been so injury prone since he joined Spurs then?
Luck? Or the way they train? (Under multiple managers)
Hard to say. We certainly had an above average incidence of hamstring injuries under Ange but not statistically significant as far as I could see. Maddison has had four entirely different injuries so it seems more like bad luck than anything.
Given the role he plays, getting nobbled by opposition players factors into it
Especially as referees seem to think it's okay to allow open season on our players in a concerning number of matches
It's possible that rushing players back factors into it.
We start with a squad that's missing numbers and it spirals from there.
One injury requires a player to play too often and then they get injured.
Repeat until we're desperate and bringing in players that we shouldn't.
Wasn't his first injury in the Chelsea game where they were allowed to kick him with impunity whilst we had 2 sent off!
Which is typical of our games against Chelsea, despite the media claiming the opposite.
Caicedo should've been off several times over in the first half, yet ended the match without a yellow.
Solanke had a minor operation on his ankle?
Why did it take so long for them to realise he needed an operation?
Shambles

Shambles
There is always a certain amount of risk with any surgical intervention. It is always better to avoid it as a first resort. For some injuries it is better to let nature take its course and use surgery if it does not cure the problem obviously for some injuries it can be obvious that surgery would be the answer immediately e.g. an ACL.
Weirdly, it's the opposite of Sessegnon: after having long-overdue surgery on his hamstring it emerged he needed surgery on his other hamstring but the club refused, so of course you can fill in the rest
From Solanke's Instagram:
Couldn't have sorted this out in the pre-season, of course. ****'s sake.

Brief check: wasn't Dragusin out with a knee injury...?

We currently have about 7 players out injured:
Maddison, Kulusevski, Dragusin, Takai, Kolo Muani and Bissouma.
Hopefully a couple of them will be back soon, but it's nice that we could fill the squad without kids.
Not sure how much involvement Bissouma's going to have if and when he returns, though.
