Tottenham Hotspur are likely to be without midfielder Scott Parker for the first six weeks of the season due to surgery on his Achilles.

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Scott Parker is reportedly expected to be out of action for six weeks due to surgery on his Achilles.

The 31-year-old, who was an initial doubt for England's campaign at Euro 2012, is expected to go under the knife next week after Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas recently confirmed that the playmaker's fitness was due to be assessed.

It is believed that the surgery will put the former West Ham United captain on the sidelines for the start of the season, according to ESPN.

Parker is also likely to miss England's 2014 World Cup qualifiers against Moldova on September 7 as well as the clash against Ukraine three days later.
