Roberto Martinez says Jan Vertonghen will be out up to November and onwards?
We’ll see because it was not a good injury. I think Jesus can explain properly in English. Of course we’re so disappointed with that but we’ll see if it’s six weeks or less.
Perez: Jan, since he arrived from the World Cup, played all the matches. So we planned last week with Harry Kane, Tripps, Danny Rose to have no competition during the week and prepare with specialist training sessions so he had an unbelievable week. But unfortunately during the game, I think it was 15 minutes into the game, he got a knock in his hamstring with the big striker Depoitre and he was unbalanced and stretched his leg, and in that action he injured the hamstring and then carried on playing for almost half an hour because he thought it was just a kocn. Now we had one scan with him and another scan on Monday to know exactly how severe the injury is at the moment. It could take a while because it’s not a normal injury, like striking the ball or sprinting. It was in a stretch and that kind of injury needs to be assessed properly.
What grade tear is it?
Perez: All the grades have changed and this is why the second scan after almost a week, to have a clear of the image is needed before knowing the timeframe of that kind of injury.
