Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Moussa Sissoko is set to spend the next four months on the injury sidelines after undergoing surgery today on the medial collateral ligament in his right knee.

The Frenchman sustained the knock during New Year’s Day loss to Southampton, and the news is a big blow for head coach Jose Mourinho.

Sissoko has been a key player for Spurs since the Portuguese arrived, and the club could be forced to bring in a midfielder before the end of the January transfer window.

As expected, a lot of Tottenham fans are gutted with the news, and here is how they reacted to the club’s official update on Twitter:

Cancel the rest of the season

Terrible news. Moussa being out till April means WE NEED to buy another midfielder. The January window is still wide open and we need to be proactive in our business.
