Egyptian forward Omar Marmoush suffered a calf injury during Tottenham Hotspur’s 3-1 victory over Coventry City in the seventh round of the Premier League.
Marmoush was forced off the pitch in the final five minutes after going down with calf pain. The coaching staff replaced him with Swedish midfielder Dejan Kulusevski.
According to the English newspaper Evening Standard, Tottenham had not announced a definitive diagnosis at the time of the report. Further medical examinations are expected to determine the severity of the injury and the player’s potential absence.
The injury came after Marmoush scored his first goal for Tottenham, helping the team secure its first Premier League win of the season.
Tottenham moved to 16th place with six points, ahead of Coventry City on goal difference, according to the original report.
The injury adds to the challenges facing head coach Roberto De Zerbi, with several players already dealing with fitness problems. The club is awaiting medical results to establish when Marmoush could return to training and competitive action.
