Bad News For Mauricio Pochettino Spurs Side

As the International scene takes center stage this week with World Cup qualifiers being prepared for, Spurs and Belgium star Mousa Dembele's injury will prevent him from playing any part in The Red Devil's upcoming matches.

Mauricio Pochettino's side picked up all three points over the weekend inflicting Manchester City with their first Premier League defeat and did so without Dembele. In fact, they have done so in the victories over CSKA in the Champions League as well as the league meeting with Boro.

The 29-year-old midfielder had been nursing the injury which he picked up in their victory over Sunderland back in September.

Despite the knock, he still traveled with his national side in hopes to feature but has been forced to leave the camp through an ankle injury while handing a blow to Roberto Martinez.

The national team also sent out an official statement which reads: "Mousa is out for Bosnia & Herzegovina and Gibraltar. All the best Mous!"
