Tottenham defender Emerson Royal could miss the rest of the season after suffering a knee injury on international duty.
Emerson, 24, has faced criticism since joining Spurs from Barcelona in the summer of 2021. Yet the right-back has produced a series of impressive performances this term to keep his place in the starting XI, despite Pedro Porro's arrival from Sporting Lisbon in January.
Emerson's form saw him recalled to the Brazil squad for the first time in more than a year after missing the World Cup in Qatar. Yet he suffered an injury at the end of Brazil's friendly against Morocco in Tangier on Saturday, with the issue requiring surgery.
