Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Victor Wanyama is injured at the moment.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has admitted to Football.London that he is concerned about defensive midfielder Victor Wanyama.

Wanyama is on the sidelines at the moment due to a knee injury and is not progressing as well as he should have.

The 26-year-old defensive midfielder was a regular for Spurs last season, but so far this campaign, the Kenya international has been able to play only 98 minutes of Premier League football.

Victor Wanyama of Celtic celebrates after scoring during the UEFA Champions League Group G match between Celtic and Barcelona at Celtic Park on November 7, 2012 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Spurs boss Pochettino has admitted that he is concerned about Wanyama’s situation.

“We are concerned about his situation,” Pochettino told Football.London. “We must wait for when he sees the specialist and then we’ll see what happens.

“But of course after some time without him involved in the training sessions and with the team, we are concerned. But now we need to wait next week to have a more clear idea of what’s going on.”

Wanyama is one of the best defensive midfielders in the Premier League, and the return of the former Southampton and Celtic star would be a huge boost for Tottenham.

Spurs are doing quite well without him, but results and performances could have been much better had the 26-year-old be part of the first team on a regular basis this season.

Tottenham will return to action this weekend when they take on Liverpool in the Premier League.
