Emerson Royal could miss much of the rest of the season as he requires surgery on a knee injury.
The 24-year-old has had a bright season at Tottenham, bouncing back from criticism over his performances to play some of his best football for the club, which earned him a recall to the Brazil squad. However, he suffered the injury in the final moments of his 90-minute display against Morocco in a friendly on Saturday.
football.london understands that Emerson, who flew back to London to be assessed will have an operation in Brazil on Thursday on the meniscus in his knee, meaning a recovery period of at least six weeks.
