Tottenham Hotspur release statement as big news confirmed ahead of Liverpool clash

The 34-year-old will need surgery after suffering an ACL tear during practise. As Spurs sit second in the Premier League standings, Perisic has appeared in each of the team’s first six games. But when the Reds visit the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on September 30, Spurs won’t be able to use the seasoned Croatian international.

A Spurs statement said: “We can confirm that Ivan Perisic has suffered a complex Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury in his right knee.

“The experienced Croatia international sustained the injury in non-contact training and will undergo surgery. Ivan will then commence his rehabilitation with our medical staff and is expected to be sidelined for the remainder of the season.” Rodrigo Bentancur, Bryan Gil, Ryan Sessegnon and Giovani Lo Celso are also currently sidelined for Tottenham.
