Tottenham star Steven Bergwijn is facing 'extended period' out after ankle injury

Tottenham will be without Steven Bergwijn for 'an extended period' after the new recruit sprained his ankle against Burnley - adding to the club's growing list of injured forwards.

The pacey Dutchman only joined the north London outfit in January and has looked impressive in his Spurs career so far, but his progress has been halted after picking up the injury at Turf Moor on Saturday evening.

He joins Harry Kane and Son Heung-min on the sidelines at Tottenham, and leaves just Dele Alli and Lucas Moura as options for Jose Mourinho up front after the Portguese boss insisted youngster Troy Parrott wasn't ready for action.
