Tottenham enforcer Sandro has sent a chilling message to Stoke City midfielder Charlie Adam after his tackle left Paulinho on the sidelines for at least a month.

Sandro, known as The Beast because of his own crunching challenges, appears unhappy that his Spurs and Brazil team-mate will miss crunch matches with Manchester United, Arsenal and Manchester City while out with serious ankle ligament damage.

The injury occurred when he was hit by a tackle from Adam during Tottenham’s 3-0 victory against the Potters at White Hart Lane on Sunday.

Adam is Public Enemy No.1 with Spurs fans as he had already earned a reputation for ferocious challenges on Gareth Bale before his hit on the £17million summer acquisition from Corinthians.

Paulinho had been enjoying a five-star performance against Stoke on his return from a three-match suspension following a red card against Liverpool but Spurs confirmed on their official website that he is out for at least four weeks.

Sandro responded on his Instagram and Facebook pages by posting a picture in which he ominously stares at the camera. It is combined with the message: ‘Charlie Adams – THE BEAST IS WATCHING YOU’.

Sandro’s Facebook message gained nearly 3, 000 likes in under an hour. Spurs visit Stoke on Saturday, April 26.
