The injury to Maddison has come at a challenging time for Tottenham, who recently suffered a 4-0 defeat against Bayern Munich in a friendly match. The team is now preparing to face Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup next week and will begin their Premier League campaign against Burnley just a few days later.

Frank has stated that the team is still in the market for new signings, and the injury to Maddison has made it a priority to find a player who can fill the gap in the midfield. However, Frank has emphasized that the team will only sign a player if they believe they can improve the team's overall performance.

Frank has also expressed optimism about the return of striker Dominic Solanke, who will lead the team's attack in the new season. Solanke missed the Bayern match, but Frank is confident that he will be back soon. Additionally, defender Destiny Udogie is expected to return to the team soon, which has been a welcome development for fans.

Frank remains calm and confident about the team's preparations for the new season, stating that he will have more information about the team's readiness in a few days.
