Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma faces a spell on the sidelines after Spurs confirmed he will have surgery on Friday.
The 26-year-old will have an operation to repair a stress fracture to his left ankle.
Spurs could not confirm how long he would be out of action.
Bissouma has made 25 appearances for Tottenham since a big-money move from Brighton in the summer, but made only eight starts.
