Tottenham have been handed yet another injury blow this season after defender Clement Lenglet was forced off after only 35 minutes against AFC Bournemouth.
Lenglet was replaced by Davinson Sanchez after going down on the halfway line. The Frenchman attempted to tackle Philip Billing but came off the worse of the two.
Spurs took the lead in north London thanks to Son Heung-min's second goal in two games. However, Bournemouth equalised through Matias Vina three minutes after Cristian Stellini was forced into a change.

Lenglet has been an ever-present in Spurs' defence since the 4-1 defeat to Leicester City in February. The former Barcelona man has made 29 appearances all season for the north London outfit.
The injury to the defender comes after the game was delayed by 15 minutes after the Bournemouth team bus was caught in traffic on the way to London, football.london understands.
The game was due to kick-off at 3pm but was pushed back to 3:15pm after an accident caused delays in the travel to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Following Newcastle's 3-0 loss at Aston Villa, Spurs can cut the gap between themselves and the top four places with victory over the Cherries.
