In a statement, Tottenham said Vertonghen "suffered an injury to his nose" which resulted in "heavy bleeding".
After being cleared by Spurs' medical staff - who followed Football Association concussion guidelines - to continue playing, he was later shown struggling to stand up.
Spurs said they had been advised this was "the result of a presyncopal episode, a near faint".
Girly faint then.![]()
Concussion. Almost certainly.
