Tottenham have been rocked by the news that
striker Roman Pavlyuchenko will be out for three weeks after
suffering a partially torn ankle ligament injury.
The 26-year-old was forced off during Spurs' defeat by Hull at
the weekend, and faces a race to be fit for the derby clash at
Arsenal on 29 October.
The news comes as another blow to the Londoners, who are
enduring their worst start to a league season since 1912.
"Roman will undergo further treatment on the injury," read a
club statement. <!-- E SF -->
The loss of Pavlyuchenko leaves Darren Bent and loanee Fraizer
Campbell as Tottenham's only first-team strikers.
