The way Maddison went down looked strange for spraining an ankle. Replay didn’t show any twisting motion. Looked more like some type of an Achilles injury to me but hopefully not.

That’s what I thought too when I first saw it. Didn’t really seem to twist it, more like he just pulled up suddenly which is never good. But I thought he was walking on it after, if it was a serious Achilles problem I doubt he could. Hopefully he’s alright

You could weight bear on a partially ruptured achilles, but it could still require a few months to heal.

Tendons do not get the same blood supply as muscle, so they take a lot longer to heal.

James Maddison has suffered from an ongoing recurring issue in his ankle and it’s now been discovered that the ligaments are damaged. Initial indications suggest a period of anything between 1-3 months recovery.
