Tottenham Hotspur striker Jermain Defoe will miss the first half of his club’s Champions League group games after suffering ankle ligament damage on international duty with England, according to The Mirror.

Defoe was stretchered off in the 3-1 win over Switzerland on Tuesday night after hitting a hat-trick against Bulgaria last Friday.

The news comes as a blow to Spurs boss Harry Redknapp, with Defoe due to miss both games against Champions League holders Inter Milan, as well as next week’s trip to Werder Bremen.
