Villas-Boas confirmed Benoit Assou-Ekotto could be missing for a month with a knee problem after Kyle Naughton made an impressive first Premier League start for Spurs at left-back.
“Benoit has a small fragment in his knee that makes it swell a lot,” Villas-Boas said. “He has played through pain in the last couple of games. His knee may have to be washed out and if that does happen we are looking at a four-week absence.”
