Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed that Alan Hutton is expected to be sidelined for the remainder of the season after undergoing surgery.

The defender had been an integral part of Spurs’ current campaign, having already made 26 appearances in all competitions for the north London club.

But the Rangers man sustained an injury in training, and scans have now showed that he is expected to remain out of action until the end of the season.

A statement on the club’s official website reads: “Alan Hutton is to undergo knee surgery after scans confirmed the defender had torn his lateral meniscus.

“The Scotland international injured his knee in training on Thursday and the operation is likely to rule him out for the rest of the season.”
