Tottenham winger Odobert is sidelined with a cruciate ligament tear

Tottenham Hotspur’s French winger Wilson Odobert has suffered a tear to his anterior cruciate ligament, the Premier League club said on Thursday, after the 21-year-old was forced off during Tuesday’s 2-1 defeat at home to Newcastle United.

Spurs, who sacked manager Thomas Frank on Wednesday amid eight games without a league win, said Odobert will undergo surgery. British media reported that he could miss the rest of the season.

“We can confirm that Wilson Odobert has suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee,” Tottenham said in a statement.
