Ivan Perisic suffers anterior cruciate ligament injury, facing lengthy spell on sidelines

Tottenham Hotspur has officially confirmed the unfortunate news that Ivan Perisic, the experienced midfielder, has sustained a severe Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury in his right knee.

This injury has dealt a significant blow to the player and the club, as Perisic had recently played a pivotal role in Tottenham’s dramatic comeback against Sheffield United last Saturday. Regrettably, the Croatian international will now be forced to undergo surgical intervention, a development that is expected to sideline him for the remainder of the season.

The club disclosed that Perisic incurred this debilitating injury during non-contact training sessions leading up to the much-anticipated North London derby against Arsenal, scheduled for the forthcoming weekend.

At 34 years of age, Ivan Perisic has been a prominent figure in the Tottenham Hotspur squad. During the previous season, he played a vital role under the management of Antonio Conte, frequently occupying the position of wing-back. His contributions were integral as the Spurs secured an eighth-place finish in the Premier League.
