Tottenham fear they could be without Jan Vertonghen for more than two months.

The north Londoners have already resigned themselves to being without the Belgium defender for four to six weeks with a hamstring injury he picked up against Huddersfield .

But it is understood there is concern that the setback is worse than first thought.

Vertonghen will be assessed this week but the club are not confident that he will be back for the remainder of the Champions League group stages.

Vertonghen has already been left out of Belgium’s squad for their upcoming games against Switzerland and the Netherlands.

Mauricio Pochettino’s assistant Jesus Perez explained last week that Spurs would only be in a position to announce a time frame on the player’s absence after another scan this week.
