Ivan Perisic pictured on crutches after undergoing ACL surgery as Tottenham star is expected to be sidelined for 'five to six months' after operation in Austria... with the Croatian thanking the staff that operated on his knee

Tottenham Hotspur and Croatia star Ivan Perisic has been pictured on crutches after undergoing surgery for an ACL injury on Monday.

The winger travelled to Austria to go under the knife after suffering an injury to his right knee during non-contact training at Spurs last week.

Perisic came off the bench for Tottenham and played a vital role in the club's comeback against Sheffield United two weeks ago, but it will be his last involvement for the club for a while.

The appearance from the bench was one of six for Ange Postecoglou's side this season, but it looks unlikely that he will make any further as he has now been pictured on crutches.
