Tottenham: Davis out - Spurs rocked!

Tottenham have been rocked by the news that midfielder Sean Davis will not play again this year after he was forced to undergo knee surgery.

Early estimates that Davis might be out for a a few weeks proved overly conservative, with Tottenham head coach Jacques Santini resigned to losing his £3m signing for "two to three months".

Davis has been struggling with a knee injury since he arrived at Tottenham from Fulham and recently spent two months on the sidelines nursing cartilage damage.

Tottenham's defeat to Fulham on Saturday was only Davis' third match back in the first team but he aggravated the injury again and it proved an unhappy return to Craven Cottage for the 25-year-old.
