Tottenham have been dealt another injury blow, with Wilson Odobert missing the rest of the season with a serious knee injury.

The club confirmed that Odobert has suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee.

Odobert sustained the injury in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Newcastle United, which resulted in Thomas Frank’s sacking.

The Frenchman has made 24 appearances for Spurs this season, though has started just 10 of those matches.

He has provided two assists from 20 chances created, having accumulated 1.2 expected assists (xA).

"Wilson will see a specialist next week before undergoing surgery and will then commence his rehabilitation with our medical staff," Tottenham said in a statement.

Spurs were without 11 first-team players through injury and suspension for the Newcastle game, before Odobert's injury.

They sit 16th in the Premier League, five points above the relegation zone, and remain in search of a new boss.

Spurs are next in action on February 22 when they face rivals Arsenal in the north London derby.
