Tottenham midfielder injured for 4-6 weeks – At least he is out on loan
Tottenham Hotspur’s injury crisis is not just limited to players at the club, as on-loan youngster Alfie Devine is now expected to spend a lengthy spell on the sideline.
An injury crisis well and beyond Tottenham Hotspur
So far this season, Tottenham Hotspur have been dealt major blows on the injury front, as several first-team players have spent extended periods on the sidelines.
Recent reports have also revealed that this season alone, only five players in the Tottenham squad have stayed injury-free.
Spurs captain Heung-min Son was said to have given new signing Yang Min-hyeok, an ironic piece of advice, asking him to stay injury-free in his new club.
Alfie Devine faces a lengthy spell on the sideline
The injury crisis at Spurs isn’t limited to players at Hotspur Way, as on-loan star Alfie Devine has become the latest casualty with a hamstring injury.
The 20-year-old has impressed during his loan spell at Westerlo in Belgium, featuring in 21 games for the Jupiler Pro League side and netting four goals from midfield.
Unfortunately, his momentum was cut short in Sunday’s 4-2 victory over Standard Liege when he limped off after just 24 minutes due to a left hamstring injury.
Scans have confirmed the injury, and according to football.london, the young midfielder is expected to be out for four to six weeks.
How many games will Alfie Devine miss for Westerlo
The injury is a major blow for the Belgium side who have multiple Spurs players on their roster, with Vuskovic being the other. With Devine sidelined for four to six weeks, here are the games he is expected to miss.
