Tottenham Hotspur confirm midfielder Lucas Bergvall has surgery on ankle injury that could keep him out for three months.
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Lucas Bergvall has had surgery on an ankle injury that could keep him sidelined for three months.
The Sweden international suffered a high ankle sprain in the 2-0 Champions League win over Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday night and was substituted in the second half after trying to continue playing.
Spurs said the 19-year-old had surgery on his left ankle on Friday but have not given a timescale on his recovery.
However, he is now set to be unavailable for a significant period of time, news that will be a blow to head coach Thomas Frank.
An injury lay-off of three months is said to be the worst case scenario for Bergvall following initial tests.
Bergvall joined Tottenham in February 2024 and has made 26 appearances for the north London side this season.
Spurs sit 14th in the Premier League after a disappointing first half of the season under Frank.
The Dane has been contending with a long list of injuries, with James Maddison, Rodrigo Bentancur, Mohammed Kudus, Dejan Kulusevski and Ben Davies out long-term.
Richarlison is set to return from a thigh injury in six weeks, while Joao Palhinha is also sidelined with a knock.
