'I feel so sorry for Toby': Jose Mourinho fears Alderweireld faces a lengthy absence after being forced off injured in stunning win over Manchester City

Tottenham Hotspur defender Toby Alderweireld could face a lengthy spell on the sidelines after suffering a groin injury in Saturday's 2-0 win over Manchester City in the Premier League.

The Belgian centre half limped off in the 81st minute after going down with the injury and manager Jose Mourinho did not sound optimistic of a quick return.

It was the only disappointment in a positive day for Spurs, who went top of the league thanks to goals from Son Heung-min and Giovanni Lo Celso.
