Ange Postecoglou confirms James Maddison 'fine' after injury in Europa League win

Tottenham Hotspur advanced to the Europa League semifinals with a 1-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt, thanks to a decisive penalty earned by James Maddison, who suffered a heavy collision with the opposing goalkeeper. Despite being forced off before halftime due to the injury, manager Ange Postecoglou confirmed Maddison is 'fine' and praised his courage in winning the penalty, expressing surprise that the incident did not result in a red card for the goalkeeper. Maddison's efforts and the strong performances from key players contributed to Tottenham ending Frankfurt's formidable home record and progressing 2-1 on aggregate. Postecoglou highlighted the importance of having a nearly fully-fit squad as Spurs aim for their first trophy in 17 years, downplaying any impact the win might have on his reputation and instead focusing on the team's belief. Maddison may be available for Tottenham's upcoming Premier League match against Nottingham Forest. Tottenham will next face Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League semifinals in May.
