Tottenham midfielder Harry Winks has been ruled out for a further fortnight with a persistent ankle injury.

The 21-year-old World Cup hopeful hasn't appeared for Spurs since Boxing Day.

Now he is not expected to feature in their next two games against Southampton on Sunday and Newport in the FA Cup the following weekend.

Tottenham will be without midfielder Harry Winks for a further fortnight due to an ankle injury

The news will be a disappointment for Mauricio Pochettino who wanted to use Winks' energy and passing ability during a busy part of the season.

Winks has played 22 times for Spurs this season and made his England debut against Lithuania under Gareth Southgate in their final World Cup qualifier in October.

Spurs are currently enjoying a brief warm weather training camp in Barcelona.

They currently lie fifth in the Premier League three points off a Champions League place.
