The Tottenham Hotspur left-back might need ankle surgery.
Tottenham Hotspur fans on Twitter are gutted by Ben Davies’s injury.
Spurs confirmed through their official website on Wednesday that the Wales international suffered ankle ligament damage in the 3-2 win at West Ham United last weekend.
It remains to be seen how long Tottenham are without the left-back, with the statement revealing that surgery could yet be an option.
Here’s how fans of the North London club reacted to the blow:
This is bad news for Tottenham for two reasons.
Firstly, Davies is a very good defender and for Jose Mourinho to be missing such a big player this early on in his Lilywhites career isn’t good.
And secondly, Danny Rose is the most logical replacement and, well, the England international hasn’t had a great season.
In fact, he cost Tottenham a goal in Tuesday’s 4-2 win over Olympiacos in the Champions League.
It wasn’t the way in which he’d have wanted to endear himself to Mourinho but, going by Davies’s condition, he’ll get chances to make up for it.
