Tottenham Hotspur’s French winger Wilson Odobert has suffered an anterior cruciate ligament tear, the Premier League club said on Thursday, after the 21-year-old was forced off during Tuesday’s 2-1 loss at home to Newcastle United.
Spurs, which sacked manager Thomas Frank on Wednesday amid an eight-game run without a league win, said Odobert will have surgery. British media reported that he could miss the rest of the season.
“We can confirm that Wilson Odobert has sustained a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee,” Tottenham said in a statement.
