The Tottenham Hotspur right-back injured his hand whilst on international duty.
Tottenham have confirmed via their official website that Serge Aurier has undergone surgery on his hand.
The Ivorian injured his hand whilst away on international duty with the Ivory Coast during the African Cup of Nations.
Aurier joined Spurs from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2017, for a fee believed to be worth £23 million, according to BBC Sport, and he has gone on to make 41 appearances in all competitions for the north London outfit.
The 26-year-old has struggled to establish himself as a first-team regular at Tottenham, however.
With Kieran Trippier having been sold to Atletico Madrid though, he might find that he is given more regular opportunities to play during this upcoming season.
Tottenham confirmed via their official website that Aurier, who earns £70,000 per week according to Spotrac, has undergone surgery to repair his damaged hand:
“Serge Aurier has undergone surgery to a hand injury suffered on international duty with the Ivory Coast during their Africa Cup of Nations campaign and is now undertaking a period of non-contact training before reintegrating with the first team.”
Judging but he official statement, the procedure went well, and Aurier should be in contention to start Tottenham’s first game of the season against Aston Villa in just under two weeks time.
And the Ivory Coast international will be hoping to nail down the right-back spot as his own this season, following Trippier’s departure from Spurs to Atletico.
