Tottenham Hotspur has initiated a wide-ranging investigation into the significant number of player injuries that have plagued their season. The club is particularly scrutinizing the unusually high incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, a type of injury that has affected multiple key players.

This internal inquiry was reportedly prompted by public comments from midfielder James Maddison, who openly questioned the reasons behind the team's injury woes. The club's investigation aims to understand the factors contributing to these setbacks and identify potential preventative measures.

The scope of the investigation extends to the overall impact of these injuries on the squad.
