Tottenham Hotspur’s opponents for the weekend, Crystal Palace, have been handed a major blow with an injury update on Marc Guehi.
The centre-back sustained a knee injury earlier this month in the Eagles’ derby clash against Brighton & Hove Albion.
It has since been revealed that the 23-year-old has suffered a setback after a specialist was seen over the last 24 hours.
Marc Guehi injury latest
According to the Daily Mail, Guehi seen a knee specialist in London and has since had to undergo surgery.
A complication was diagnosed with the injury he picked up at the beginning of the month and has put his recovery time way back.
Guehi is now expected to return over the next six to eight weeks as he will require significant recovery following surgery.
This is a player who is highly rated by many. One in particular is BBC Sport’s Garth Crooks who hailed Guehi as a ‘brilliant‘ player last season.
It goes without saying, Palace will be missing a huge player for their trip to N17 on Saturday.
Tottenham hold Guehi interest
Tottenham will be unable to scout one of their believed transfer targets ahead of the summer now on the weekend.
Guehi is said to be a player who has been on the Tottenham radar as Ange Postecoglou looks to continue adding to his defence.
The centre-back had been a big target for Fabio Paratici, but he is believed to be valued in the region of £60m by Palace.
He is not the only Palace player who Spurs are believed to have their eye on, though.
It has recently been reported that the Lilywhites have earmarked Eberechi Eze as one of their main targets for the summer alongside Pedro neto.
He is a player who will likely be on display at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday after Palace received an injury boost this week.
