Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen promised to be back ‘as soon as he can’ after being sidelined with an ankle injury.

The Belgian international was subbed off during Tottenham’s 4-0 victory over West Brom on Saturday, and is expected to be sidelined for a minimum on six weeks.

Vertonghen, who saw his Euro 2016 campaign cut short after suffering a similar injury last summer, took to Twitter on Tuesday night to vent his frustration over his latest setback and to praise the Spurs fans for the support he has received.

Tweeting on his official account he said: “Thanks to everyone for your kind messages. Gutted to be injured but will be back as soon as I can.”

Vertonghen has featured in all but one of Tottenham's Premier League games this season.
