Tottenham star Mikey Moore’s injury at Rangers has come at an unfortunate time.
Tottenham loaned Moore to Scottish Premiership side Rangers with the intention of continuing his development plan.
At first, Spurs were urged to recall Moore after a rocky start to life in Scotland.
However, the left winger has blossomed, along with the rest of the Rangers squad, since Danny Rohl replaced Russell Martin as manager.
But as it normally is with football, injury struck when Moore least expected it.

Mikey Moore’s injury deemed ‘frustrating’
Tottenham have been hit with several injuries this season, which is no different to the last period under Ange Postecoglou.
And it seems Moore is Spurs through and through after sustaining a muscle injury last month.
The versatile winger is expected to be sidelined until late December in a turn of events that Tottenham expert and Lilywhite Rose owner John Wenham has described as unfortunate.
“There are a lot of games, two, three games a week, and he would have been playing all of those,” Wenham exclusively told Tottenham News.
“He’s happily scored, and his confidence is higher. The fans are behind him. So it’s particularly frustrating that this has happened, but that’s part of football.”
How was Mikey Moore performing before his injury?
Moore had a slow start to life in the Scottish Premiership, but revealed his best self in the days leading up to his injury.
Moore has been excellent on the eye-test also, gliding past defenders with ease and creating ample chances for his teammates.
Rangers undoubtedly looked like the better team with Moore causing chaos on the wing.
With around a month on the sidelines, it’ll be difficult for the Spurs star to reestablish himself in Rohl’s side.
But given the liquid gold talent running through his veins, there’s no doubt that Moore has what it takes to rise to the occasion.
