Ben Davies set for lengthy injury absence which causes problem for next Tottenham manager

Tottenham defender Ben Davies has been ruled out for between four to six weeks with the hamstring injury he suffered against Southampton, football.london understands.

The Welshman was forced off before half-time in Spurs' 3-3 draw at St Mary's on Saturday and now football.london understands the damage to his hamstring could take up to six weeks to heal. That would mean Davies would not be available until May for the final games of the season if his recovery remains on track.

The 29-year-old, who was named as Wales vice-captain last week before having to pull out of their latest squad, has become a mainstay under Antonio Conte this season. He has started 21 of Spurs' 28 Premier League matches and come off the bench in another four and has made 37 appearances in total for the club this season.
