Tottenham Hotspur defender Jan Vertonghen was forced off with a head injury in midweek, as Mauricio Pochettino’s side fell to a defeat.

Tottenham Hotspur’s Lucas Moura has told the Daily Star that Jan Vertonghen looked good after Mauricio Pochettino’s Champions League clash with Ajax.

Vertonghen had to be taken off during Spurs’ semi-final clash with Ajax, after suffering a head injury.

The Belgian defender looked very unsteady on his feet as he went off the pitch at White Hart Lane, and there were real concerns over his well-fare.

But Moura has insisted that Vertonghen looked much better at full-time.

“The action was strong, it was dangerous. Was he lucky? I don’t know, I don’t believe in ‘lucky’. It happens in football. I’m happy because I saw him after the game, he was good,” the £25 million attacker (Independent) said.

Tottenham lost 1-0 to Ajax on Tuesday, and they put in a disappointing performance in the contest.

Spurs never really clicked into gear, although they were missing a lot of key players.

Tottenham now must go to Holland and win if they are to progress to the semi-finals.

There is a hope that Vertonghen will be fit to play, in what would be a massive boost for Pochettino’s side.
