Any news on Dembele? It's just that we always seem to lose games without him.

Think it was just a stinger. He was well up for getting back on the pitch one Livermore was the sub...

I hope he's not injured. He's the catalyst to this whole Spurs squad

Didn't look great - looked like a medial ligament the way his knee buckled in. Hopefully just a strain but if he's got any degree of tear, depending on the severity you'd expect him to miss at least 2 weeks, maybe 4.

I don't think it was too bad - as poster above said...he looked pretty keen to get back on but was substituted for livermore.

Hoping it was AVB being sensible and taking him off as a precaution rather than injury. I hope I'm right!

AVB has confirmed Dembele and Adebayor are fine and will be availabile for the Inter game.

Let's hope he is right as there is surely no way he could have seen scan results already?

Dembele was pure class against the gooners. Him and Bale would be the hardest to replace right now.

hes grand sure he got up ready to play on and didnt realise he had been taken off, we at Spurs are made of far stronger things these days

what impresses me about the lad is that wee drop of the shoulder to go one way then goes the other makes in look so easy, he has about a 95% success rate doing this

He's fine. Just one of those that hurts like hell for 5 mins and then you're OK

Let's not forget AVB said the same thing about Sandro's injury after that game and we know how that turned out.

knee injuries are a funny bunch. some players can even get up and walk off the pitch after the injury only to find out that they're out for a number of weeks after being examined. just happy to hear that he ade are okay

According to AVB's Post Match press conference (Posted in another thread) he said there was a miss communication with the 4th Official and in fact it should have been Siggy who came off for Livermore and NOT Dembele. So from this I assume that Dembele was fit to carry on.

Really hope the news about Dembele is true. Looked like he was getting back to his best in the second half.
