Spurs were able to draw a lot of positive things from the duel at the Emirates Stadium: Ange Posteocglou’s men showed a lot of character, came back twice and obtained a deserved point.
The only downside, however, is injuries to Johnson and Maddison, who were both substituted in the second half.
Gold has now explained that Johnson suffered a pulled thigh muscle and was substituted in the 62nd minute as a precaution as he did not want to aggravate the problem.
The journalist explained that the 22-year-old is working his way back to fitness this season after suffering an ankle injury in the summer.
Gold also had some positive news about Maddison, explaining that the midfielder was moving around normally after the match when he took up media duties.
He added that the England international’s initial feeling about his knee is “positive”, but he is expected to undergo a scan to ensure all is well.
The fact that Maddison continued to play for around ten minutes after an initial injury suggests that it is nothing serious and that the 26-year-old should be fully fit for the big game against Liverpool next Saturday.
