The hamstring injury of Tottenham's defender Tobias Alderweidelde threatens to relapse.

Alderveyreld injured his hamstring in a game against Real Madrid. It was initially expected that he would return by the end of December and help the team during a busy schedule.

"I have serious muscle problems. There is a large chance of relapse. Then I need an operation and 14 weeks for recovery.. In two weeks I will undergo another examination, "said Tobias to the Belgian journalist Christophe Terrier.

Tottenham can not win in the Premier League since November 5, when he defeated the Crystal Palace. Now the "spurs" occupy the sixth place in the standings.
