Stoke City will be without defender Bruno Martins-Indi for at least eight weeks manager Mark Hughes confirmed.
The Netherlands international was withdrawn during the Potters 2-1 win over Swansea City last weekend.
"Bruno, as we feared unfortunately, is likely to be out for quite some time," Hughes said ahead of Saturday's game against Tottenham at Wembley.
"He has really damaged the groin area, and to be fair we sensed that on the day because he was in a significant amount of pain.
"He has started his treatment already, but it will be a long process."
