Jan Vertonghen could find out on Friday if he will be fit for the Champions League Final on June 1 after playing the whole second half of Tottenham's win over Ajax with an ankle injury.
Vertonghen left the Johan Cruyff ArenA on crutches and wearing a protective boot on his right foot after suffering the problem in the first half of Spurs' unforgettable 3-2 win.
The 32-year-old, who also played in a protective mask after suffering a gashed nose in the first leg, is set for a scan today, which should determine the extent of the problem.
"My ankle is swollen," he told Belgian TV. "I played the second half on adrenaline. I couldn’t put weight on my foot after the game.
"I have a scan tomorrow and then I know more. It was not because of the celebrations.
"I am hopeful, [the final] is three weeks away."
The centre-half played the full 90 minutes at his former club, as Spurs recovered from 2-0 down at half-time to win through Lucas Moura's hat-trick, setting-up an all-English final against Liverpool in Madrid.
He will definitely miss Sunday's Premier League season-finale at home to Everton.
