Tottenham have confirmed that defender Ben Davies will undergo surgery following an injury picked up in the devastating defeat to West Ham on Saturday (January 17).

To add insult to injury, defender Ben Davies was stretched off after just 19 minutes with a seemingly serious ankle injury.

The North London club have now confirmed that the 32-year-old will go under the knife with a fractured ankle.

It remains to be seen just how long the Wales international will be out, although the club have wished him a speedy recovery.
