Tottenham have been dealt another major blow after it was confirmed that one of their first-team stars has suffered a season-ending anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.
The news compounds a miserable week for the north London club, who have already endured a difficult run on and off the pitch. Spurs will now be without the player for the rest of the campaign, with a long rehabilitation period required following the diagnosis.
The injury was confirmed after further assessment, ending any hope that the issue was minor. Tottenham must now plan the remainder of the season without the player, with the setback adding to the pressure on the squad during a demanding period.
The club have not set a return date, but an ACL tear is widely regarded as one of football’s most serious injuries, typically ruling players out for many months.
