Ben Davies: Tottenham defender could need operation on damaged ankle ligaments
Wednesday 27 November 2019 17:53, UK
Tottenham defender Ben Davies could need surgery after it was confirmed he had damaged ankle ligaments against West Ham.
Davies limped off 15 minutes from the end of Tottenham's 3-2 win at the London Stadium on Saturday after starting Jose Mourinho's first game in charge of Spurs.
The Wales international was replaced by Danny Rose, who could now get an extended run in Mourinho's side, although Ryan Sessegnon made the squad for the Champions League clash with Olympiakos in Davies' absence.
Davies was in attendance at that game and, afterwards, was spotted on crutches and with a walking boot on his left foot.
He briefly stopped to speak to reporters and said he "didn't think it was good" when asked about the injury.
