TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR defender has undergone groin surgery after delaying the operation to play for Wales.

The left-back was expected to go under the knife after his club’s appearance in the Champions League final, having suffered with discomfort throughout the season.

However he delayed the surgery to appear in Wales’ Euro 2020 qualifiers against Croatia and Hungary earlier this month.

On Thursday night, Davies confirmed a successful operation on his groin with a thumbs-up post to Instagram.

With almost two months to go until Spurs kick off their Premier League campaign at home to Aston Villa, the player anticipates being fit in time for the opening weekend.

He wrote: “Everything went well with my op!”

“Thank you to the incredible hospital staff for making me so comfortable.

“Looking forward to spending the summer getting ready for the new season! Thanks for all the kind messages and support.”

Davies also posted a snap of his hospital bed reading, a detailed look into geopolitics and national borders – a far cry from the typical books footballers are thought to read.

Competing with Danny Rose for the Tottenham left-back spot, the Welshman made 40 appearances for Mauricio Pochettino’s side.

Davies has also played every minute of his country’s Euro 2020 qualification campaign so far, which was hit by two defeats on the road last week.
