The 27-year-old was was forced off in Tottenham’s 1-0 Europa League defeat to AZ on Thursday, 20 minutes into his return from a knee injury.

The England striker made his comeback after seven weeks out with a knee injury as a second-half replacement for captain Heung-min Son in Thursday night’s Europa League last-16 first-leg defeat in the Netherlands, but had to be replaced himself in stoppage time by Dane Scarlett.

Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario has shown his importance in recent weeks after a two-and-a-half-month absence, but felt the frustration of Tottenham’s travelling support on Thursday when he seemed to urge the fans to lift their spirits and was met with anger.
