Mauricio Pochettino says Tottenham Hotspur defender Toby Alderweireld could out until after Christmas.
The Belgian defender pulled his hamstring in Spurs' triumph over Real Madrid at the start of the month.
"We need to assess him," said Pochettino. We expect (him to be out) longer than we previously (believed) when the problem happened. Maybe after Christmas, maybe. That is the expectation. It will be longer (than we thought).
"The injury is in his hamstring. He feels normal, he feels disappointed. It's a little bit sad but in the same way he is focused now on trying to recover as soon as possible. He is working hard and he is in the first stage of his rehab.
"With this type of injury we must be cautious and it is a process of time."
