Tottenham defender Foyth ruled out until September

Tottenham defender Juan Foyth is set to be sidelined until September due to an ankle ligament injury.

The centre-back sustained the problem during the Audi Cup pre-season match with Bayern Munich last month, with manager Mauricio Pochettino admitting at the time that the player was in some pain.

Subsequent tests have revealed Foyth has damaged the lateral ligament in his left ankle and is not due to resume first-team duties until next month.
