Danny Rose is rated doubtful for Tottenham's FA Cup game against AFC Wimbledon on Sunday after he suffered a slight recurrence of a longstanding knee complaint.
The full-back was out for 10 months last year after he suffered the initial injury in January 2017, and Spurs' medical team had been worried that he had re-injured the same joint during the Christmas period.
However, Sky Sports has reported that that Rose's current malaise is not as serious as first thought, and he could only be out for action for a few weeks instead.
Rose played the full 90 minutes in Tottenham's 5-2 thumping of Southampton on Boxing Day but, after the match, complained that he felt soreness and a general unease in that same knee he had rehabilitated for much of 2017.
