Tottenham Lee Young-Pyo is set to miss the rest of the season with a knee injury.

Tottenham's Lee Young-Pyo is set to miss the rest of the season with a knee injury.

The defender suffered torn ligaments in his left knee in Tottenham's Uefa Cup first leg clash at Sevilla last week.

The 29-year-old played the full 90 minutes at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan stadium but later complained of soreness.

He is expected to be sidelined for three months and a decision whether he will require surgery will be made next week.

If surgery is ruled out, the defender will undergo an extensive rehabilitation programme.
