JAMES MADDISON was lucky to avoid a horror head injury after a nasty collision with Eintracht Frankfurt goalkeeper Kaua Santos.
The shocking moment occurred in Tottenham's Europa League quarter-final second leg against the German giants.
Coming to the end of the first-half, Maddison chased down a long ball from Cristian Romero.
The midfielder got their first and was wiped out by keeper Santos, who came charging out of his goal.
His body clattered into Maddison's head and he dropped to the floor in pain.
There was concern from his Spurs team-mates as they urgently called for medical assistance.
Following a VAR check, a penalty was awarded for the foul.
Dominic Solanke stepped up and coolly put Spurs in front.
Maddison bravely tried to continue but had to be subbed off.
THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
