Tottenham Hotspur defender Emerson Royal will undergo surgery on a knee injury he sustained on international duty with Brazil, the Premier League club said on Tuesday.
Emerson, 24, picked up the injury in stoppage time during Brazil’s 2-1 defeat by Morocco in a friendly on Saturday.
“We can confirm that Emerson Royal suffered a meniscus injury to his left knee while on international duty with Brazil last week,” Tottenham said. “The defender will undergo surgery before beginning his rehabilitation with our medical staff.”
Tottenham, seeking a new coach to replace Antonio Conte, face Liverpool, Manchester United and Newcastle United in April as they fight for a top-four finish. They are fourth on 49 points, two points above fifth-placed Newcastle who have two games in hand.
