Bad news for Mexico...and the Boyz..
Tottenham's Giovani faces surgery
Tottenham's Mexico international striker Giovani dos Santos is to undergo an exploratory operation after injuring his right ankle in training.
The 19-year-old, who joined Spurs from Barcelona in the summer on a five-year deal, will have surgery on Tuesday.
"Hopefully the outcome will be positive so he can return sooner rather than later," said manager Harry Redknapp.
"I've not had a chance to work with him yet. Everyone says he's a real talent and his record suggests that's so."
Giovani, who has four caps for Mexico, made 28 appearances for Barcelona last season before his move to Tottenham.
So far he has played nine times for Spurs, but has yet to score.
