"The season has already ended for the team's defender from South Korea. He will need a knee operation. Young-Pyo Lee got injured during the first UEFA Cup quarterfinal match against Sevilla. The English team has already been eliminated from this tournament.
"He will undergo knee surgery, which will require several months of treatment. We hope that Young-Pyo Lee will recover by July and will be able to fully prepare for the new season," said the club's coach Martin Jol.
This season, the Korean, who can play on both defensive flanks, represented Tottenham 31 times, with 21 of them in the Premier League.
Young-Pyo Lee has already represented South Korea's national team 82 times, scoring 5 goals.
The 29-year-old Asian arrived in Europe from his homeland in 2002. At that time, he represented PSV, and moved to Tottenham in 2005."
