Another injury blow for Spurs: Doctor reveals 29-yr-old has picked up an injury that could rule him out for ‘months’
Tottenham just can not catch a break right now as their injury lists continue to grow.
Dier’s absence from recent games was verified by Alasdair Gold, who attributed it to pain sustained before the West Ham match during pre-match training at the Etihad.
Furthermore, injury specialist Dr. Rajpal Brar has disclosed that a prolonged recovery time for the defender is a possibility.
He verified that the athlete is suffering with a groyne injury, which, in the best-case scenario, will keep him out for a few weeks at the very most. In the worst-case situation, however, a high-grade muscle tear would keep him out for months.
He said to the Toronto News:
“Initially, the best-case scenario would have been simply muscle soreness and him being available for the next match, provided that soreness and discomfort subsided.
“However, he does seem to be out for at least a couple of weeks.
“Worst-case scenario would be a high-grade muscle tear, in which case the timeline would depend on the specifics i.e. which muscle, how badly.
“He is looking at months out in that case.“
With Ange even going so far as to favour Emerson Royal over Dier while Romero was out, Dier has descended the hierarchy at Spurs.
However, his injury exacerbates Spurs’ problems as they are now without a seasoned centre defence as a backup.
Spurs will need to make some important transfers in January, and it could hurt them if they don’t buy a top-tier defence.
In a related development:
While on international duty, Mikey Moore, a young player for Tottenham in form, had a calf injury.
Spurs analyst John Wenham, who stated that the “star player” will be a huge loss for the academy team, verified this last week.
He made the comparison that the loss of Moore was like the first team losing James Maddison.
The player will not be making a comeback this year due to a significant Grade 2 or Grade 3 tear, according to injury specialist Dr. Rajpal Brar, who has now revealed the severity of the injury.
Additionally, he gave his word that the opposing club would be well informed of his condition, so this would not interfere with any possible January loan agreement.
To Toronto News, he stated:
This seems to be a severe Grade 2 or Grade 3 calf strain.
“He won’t be back this year because the recovery period is about six weeks, but it really depends on how he handles rehabilitation. Calf injuries can be quite picky, especially if they affect specific areas of the calf.
“Unless there’s something unknown going on, I wouldn’t expect anything to come up if Spurs were to loan him out in January because the other team would be fully aware of the situation.”
Having only played seven games for the U18s this season, the 16-year-old forward has already scored eight goals and contributed five assists, making him one of the most gifted players in Tottenham’s system.Given that it will disrupt his excellent performance in the youth ranks, his injury is a setback for both the club and him.
