Spurs' Aurier fears AFCON exit after new injury

Ivory Coast captain Serge Aurier fears his Africa Cup of Nations may be over after being forced to leave the field during Friday's 1-0 defeat to Morocco in Cairo.

The right-back is coming off an injury-filled season at Tottenham Hotspur during which he was sidelined at various stages of the season by a thigh problem, groin injury and hamstring tear.

"I think it may be over because I felt something. It may be a tear," he said without giving more details about the injury.
