Tottenham suffers an unfortunate injury to a key forward just days before the north London derby.
Tottenham have confirmed that Ivan Perisic will be out for the rest of the season after sustaining a knee injury during a non-contact training session.
Perisic, who was signed by former manager Antonio Conte, has remained the ultimate professional at the club, coming off the bench to help the squad pick up three points, including last weekend against Sheffield United.
The Croatian’s contract with the club expires next summer, and this injury may indicate that he has already played his final game for the club.Alejo Veliz, recruited from Argentine club Rosario Central, provides cover for Tottenham.
The loss of the seasoned Perisic, on the other hand, will definitely be a huge setback as the club prepares for the north London derby.
“We can confirm that Ivan Perisic has suffered a complex anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in his right knee,” the club said in a statement.
“The experienced Croatia international was injured during non-contact training and will have surgery.” Ivan will next begin his recovery with our medical experts and is anticipated to miss the rest of the season.”
Spurs have enjoyed a fantastic start to the season, winning four of their first five games, the best start to a season in the last decade.
After recent managers who arrived with a proven track record failed to deliver, Ange Postecoglou is anticipated to be given the time he needs to construct a side that plays in the “Spurs way.”
