Tottenham Hotspur's hopes of a top four finish this season may have taken significant damage in the wake of Matt Doherty's campaign-ending knee injury.
The news will put the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United on red alert as the pair currently sit behind Spurs in fifth and seventh respectively, desperately hoping to catch Antonio Conte's troops and their ambitions of Champions League football next term.
The 30-year-old Republic of Ireland international has gone from struggling for form to one of Spurs' most important players in recent weeks. Doherty is thriving in Conte's system which places a lot of the attacking burden on the wing-backs shoulders. In his last five games alone, the former Wolves defender has managed to register two goals and two assists as his side hit form at just the right time.
