Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho fears January signing Steven Bergwijn could miss the rest of the 2019-20 campaign with an ankle injury picked up against Burnley.

Mourinho said on Monday he does not expect the Netherlands international to play again this season, according to Dan Kilpatrick at the Evening Standard.

Tottenham have announced that Bergwijn "suffered a significant sprain to his left ankle" during Saturday's 1-1 draw at Turf Moor and "will now undergo an extended period of rehabilitation."

Bergwijn's injury will be a fresh blow for Tottenham given he has enjoyed a bright start to life in north London following a January move from PSV Eindhoven.
