The nature of Dembele’s injury appeared unclear, but he was able to leave the pitch unaided.
Tottenham were obviously concerned enough not to want to take any chances over the Belgian, bringing him off after just half an hour.

Dembele has had a stop start season due to his early suspension and competition for places, and he is now at risk of missing the North London derby at Arsenal.
The match takes place on Sunday at 12pm, leaving Dembele with a race against time to prove his fitness in time to earn a starting place.
Dembele was among Tottenham’s key players in 2015/16, and with Toby Alderweireld and Harry Kane also battling to prove their fitness, the spine of their team is nursing injuries, hardly ideal heading into such an important game at The Emirates.
