Tottenham defender Ben Davies is facing a short period on the sidelines after sustaining a hairline fracture to the bone just underneath his knee. Recalled to the starting XI on Tuesday in the Champions League at Sporting CP and playing the full 90 minutes in the 2-0 defeat, the Welshman is not part of the Spurs squad for Saturday's Premier League match against Leicester City.
Davies did go to ground with a knock midway through the first half in Lisbon but managed to play on with the problem for the rest of the game after receiving treatment for a couple of minutes. However, the injury will now keep him out of action for the next three weeks.
As a result, the 29-year-old will miss out on Wales' UEFA Nations League matches against Belgium and Poland next week. football.london understands that Tottenham have withdrawn their player from international duty, but the Welsh FA have yet to confirm that the ex-Swansea City man will be absent for their two fixtures.
