Tottenham manager Antonio Conte has confirmed that Matt Doherty is set to miss the rest of the season after suffering a knee injury against Aston Villa on Saturday. The right-back was on the end of a forceful tackle from Matty Cash in the first-half of the 4-0 victory and will not play a part in the remainder of the campaign.

Asked at his pre-match press conference whether Doherty will need surgery, Conte responded: "No. I think the first visit with the doctor said he can recover without surgery. His type of situation different opinions and make the best decision.

But the news of how long he is expected to miss was more concerning. "Seven - eight weeks before he recovers," Conte added. "For this reason his season has finished. it is a pity as Doherty was an important player for us."
