Tottenham star facing extended spell on the sidelines after undergoing surgery on hamstring injury
Tottenham Hotspur confirmed on Sunday that summer signing Wilson Odobert has undergone surgery on his right hamstring.
The French winger has only featured in five games for Spurs since joining from Burnley in August for a transfer fee of £25million plus £5m in add-ons.
Spurs said in a club statement: ‘We can confirm that Wilson Odobert underwent surgery to his right hamstring yesterday (Saturday 16 November).
‘The 19-year-old will continue to be closely monitored by our medical team to determine when he can return to training.’
Odobert’s surgery took place at the Princess Grace Hospital in Marylebone.
The player used Instagram to share a photo from his hospital bed, alongside the caption: ‘Thanks God’.

Tottenham centre-back Micky van de Ven has also been struggling with a hamstring issue in recent weeks.
The Dutch defender suffered the injury during Tottenham’s 2-1 win over Manchester City in the EFL Cup on November 3.
Van de Ven has since missed matches against Aston Villa, Galatasaray and Ipswich.
However, Spurs expect Van de Ven to be available to face Man City again after the international break on November 23.
