"Tottenham" defender will miss three weeks of matches © EuroFootball.com

In the English Premier League, London club's defender Tomas Huddlestone, who currently occupies the 6th place, will not be able to play for at least three weeks due to a knee injury. The 20-year-old football player suffered the injury in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Reading, when he appeared on the field in the second half after a substitution. Due to the knee injury, the defender will miss the UEFA Cup quarter-final match against reigning champion club Sevilla and will also be unable to play if Tottenham manages to break into the top four teams. "He injured his knee and may not be able to play for three, or even more weeks, and this is obviously a huge loss," said head coach Martin Jol. The player of the England U-21 youth team, who scored 3 goals in various tournaments this season, has shown that he is the future of the Tottenham team, but recently has been appearing on the field more often from the bench, as Jermaine Jenas, who has recovered from his injury, has returned to the lineup. At present, the team led by M. Jol is no longer plagued by injuries as at the beginning of the season, and now the club is in 6th position in the English Premier League standings, trailing just two points behind Bolton.
