The 28-year-old has been a key player for Thomas Frank's struggling side this season, making 20 appearances for the north Londoners already this season, so is likely to be a major miss for the club's under-fire Danish manager.

Spurs are 14th in the Premier League table, and were eliminated from the FA Cup last week.
