The injury occurred during a training session in the USA, where Tottenham is preparing for the season. It is not yet clear how serious the injury is and how much time the player will need to recover.
Last year, V. Wanyama also injured the same knee during the pre-season tour in the USA. However, he played the first two games of the season for Tottenham before the injury resurfaced, and he returned to the sidelines in January.
