Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Lucas Bergvall has had surgery on an ankle injury that could keep him sidelined for three months.
The Sweden international suffered a high ankle sprain in the 2-0 Champions League win over Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday night and was substituted in the second half after trying to continue playing.
Spurs said the 19-year-old had surgery on his left ankle on Friday but have not given a timescale on his recovery.
However, he is now set to be unavailable for a significant period of time, news that will be a blow to head coach Thomas Frank.
An injury lay-off of three months is said to be the worst case scenario for Bergvall following initial tests.
