Danny Rose undergoes knee surgery

Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed that defender Danny Rose has undergone surgery on his knee which could see him miss the start of next season.

The 26-year-old has been sidelined since the end of January with the problem, but recently returned to training and was thought to be on the verge of his comeback to first-team action.

However, the England international has since suffered a setback in his recovery and will now spend the summer recuperating from "exploratory surgery".

"We can confirm that Danny Rose has undergone exploratory surgery on his left knee today," read a statement from the club.

"He recently returned to training, however the problem has not resolved fully therefore a decision has been made to proceed to surgery. He will now return to action next season."

Rose made 18 Premier League appearances this season before sustaining the injury.
