Tottenham Hotspur's Jan Vertonghen ruled out of hectic festive fixtures?

Tottenham Hotspur defender Jan Vertonghen could reportedly be out of action for the entire festive schedule due to an ankle injury.

The Belgium international suffered the problem during a 2-1 victory over Fulham last week.

While the player himself was hopeful of a swift recovery, an MRI scan has detected ligament damage and a four-week stint on the sidelines could be possible, according to The Guardian.

The North London outfit are said to be awaiting the results of more medical tests.
