Victor Wanyama set to miss Tottenham’s Champions League clash with Apoel
Wanyama was injured during training

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Victor Wanyama will miss tonight’s Champions League clash against Apoel.

Wanyama was injured during training and missed Spurs’ last league match against Burnley. He withdrew from Kenya’s squad for their recent friendly international with Mozambique and Tottenham have confirmed he will be out for a few weeks.

With Tottenham so short of midfield options, youngster Harry Winks is expected to be called upon to line up alongside Eric Dier and Moussa Sissoko in the centre of the park.

After surprising Dortmund at Wembley two weeks ago, Tottenham now have the opportunity to further their chances of reaching the knock-out stages of the Champions League when they take on Apoel Nicosia in Cyprus.

Mauricio Pochettino’s men will then face Real Madrid at the Bernabeu in what will be the toughest test of their group stage campaign.
