Kristof Terreur (Belgian journalist):
Hate to spoil the Spurs party so early, but this exclusive footage of Jan Vertonghen doesn’t look good. Protective boot on his right foot, the crutches. Smells like an ankle ligament injury.
they were throwing things around in the dressing room, if he was wearing those shower sandals and slipped on the spilled drink ...In the Pochettino in tears video, Vertonghen is still on the pitch and moving fine. But some say that he didn't appear for the post-match celebrations in front of the fans, so where and when did he get injured?
In the dressing room? Damn it. Real bad luck if celebrations caused the injury.
Would 3 weeks be enough? Sanchez should return by then though surely, and whilst he doesn't inspire as much confidence, it's not the end of the world if Jan is unfortunately sidelined.
It would be a fucking football tragedy if he doesn't feature in our historic match considering how great a servant he has been for the club all these years. I would have loved to see Dembele in there too but no point crying over spilt milk.
Anyone else notice that towards the end of the game Jan had fucked off that protective mask and went rogue on us. I think I noticed it when he had one cleared off the line.
