Vertonghen to see neurologist
Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen will see a neurologist on Thursday after suffering a horrific head injury during his side’s Champions League semifinal 1-0 defeat against Ajax.
Vertonghen was dazed and covered in blood following an accidental collision with Tottenham teammate Toby Alderweireld in the first half on Tuesday.
The Belgium international initially tried to play on after being checked by Tottenham’s medical staff, but he still looked groggy and had to be helped off the pitch moments later.
It was feared Vertonghen had suffered a concussion, raising questions about the decision to allow him to briefly resume play.
