Tottenham Hotspur fans were left worrying about the sight of Jan Vertonghen leaving the Johan Cruff ArenA on crutches but the club are hopeful it's not a big problem.

Dutch TV cameras caught the Belgian using crutches to get on to the team coach in a protective boot after Spurs' remarkable away goals victory against Ajax to seal their place in the Champions League final.

That sparked fears that Vertonghen might miss the showpiece final in Madrid on June 1.

However, football.london understands that it was an ankle knock suffered in first half of the game and the club's medical staff believe it's a minor injury and only placed him in a protective boot as a precaution.

Mauricio Pochettino will be hopeful that he has the experienced Belgian, who played for the remainder of the match in Amsterdam, at the heart of his defence as Spurs take on Liverpool in Madrid.
