Tottenham have confirmed that a scan has shown that Tom Huddlestone suffered damage to the ligaments in his right ankle during Sunday's 2-1 victory against Everton.
The former Derby County midfielder will now be seen by ankle specialists who will decide on the best course of rehabilitation.
Huddlestone had to be stretchered off the pitch during Sunday's game at White Hart Lane and was replaced by Younes Kaboul after being brought down by Everton's John Heitinga in the 52nd minute.
Spurs boss Harry Redknapp now has a central midfield headache as Jermaine Jenas is set to undergo surgery on Wednesday while Aaron Lennon and David Bentley are both currently injured
Redknapp said after the victory against Everton that lifted his side back up to fourth in the table:"We're going to miss Tom – he's a top player for us.
"He makes us play and he's a great passer and we needed that when we were going through that dodgy little spell. It was important we tried to get hold of the ball.
"We don't know how bad his injury is at the moment but it doesn't look good. He'll have a scan and we'll see how it is but we're running out of central midfield players – we've only got three anyway.
"It's not an ideal situation and it's an area we've been light on all season really."
