Mikey Moore ‘to be sidelined for months’ as Tottenham gem suffers fresh injury
Mikey Moore joins a long list of Tottenham players to have suffered an injury this season.
Spurs’ campaign was blighted by a well-documented injury crisis, which former manager Ange Postecoglou pointed to as a key contributor to their difficulties in competing on multiple fronts.
The demands the Australian placed on the playing group could have contributed to the unprecedented number of muscular problems suffered by the squad.
However, questions have also been raised about the medical department in North London, with Vinai Venkatesham brought in with the directive to assess the situation.
Tottenham will no doubt be looking to make improvements ahead of next season, but will not welcome the latest news surrounding Moore.
Moore rolls his ankle while on international duty
Moore was one of the few positives to emerge for Tottenham this season as he broke into the first team and made 22 appearances across all competitions.
The 17-year-old’s performances were rewarded with an England call-up for the UEFA European Under-19 Championship.
The teenager was given the captain’s armband in the Young Lions’ opening match against Norway (14 June), scoring an equaliser from the spot in the 80th minute at the Ilie Oană Stadium to make it 2-2, which is how the match finished.
However, in injury time, Moore landed awkwardly after chasing the ball and rolled his ankle, leaving him in a heap on the ground.
It will have worried Tottenham, whose patience for injuries is wearing thin, with the return of players like Radu Dragusin, James Maddison, and Lucas Bergvall still unclear.
Some fans took to X to send their best wishes, while others suggested that Moore could be sidelined for a couple of months.
Moore will hope to impress Thomas Frank quickly
Moore will not only hope that he can shrug off the injury to continue playing for England’s Under-19s, but he will also be looking to make an impression on Thomas Frank.
The Dane has barely put his foot through the door and is already looking to bring in at least one established forward in Bryan Mbuemo.
With Tottenham officially announcing the permanent signing of Mathys Tel on Sunday (15 June), Moore will feel the need to make a quick impression on his new manager to remain in the first-team picture next season.
