The Spurs right-back was substituted at half-time during his country’s 1-0 loss to Luxembourg on Saturday and will now miss tomorrow’s trip to Hungary for the friendly clash against Qatar. Tottenham head coach Jose Mourinho will be hoping that the injury is not a serious one ahead of the resumption of Premier League action. The North Londoners lost Welsh left-back Ben Davies to an injury right at the beginning of the international break, and they will be hoping none of the rest of their players pick up knocks in the coming days.
