But stats compiled by Football Fantasy website Oulala highlight the incredible statistic that the Lilywhites have a higher win percentage when the 29-year-old Belgian is absent from the starting line-up:
Mauricio Pochettino’s men currently sit in second spot in the Premier League table, seven points adrift of league leaders Chelsea, and their fans will be hoping that they can maintain their fine run of form, despite the prospect of being without Vertonghen for a prolonged period of time.
