Jermain Defoe Ruled Out For Six Weeks With Ankle Injury
By Chris Wright
Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe has been ruled out for six weeks after scans revealed that he suffered ankle ligament damage during England’s 4-0 win over Bulgaria on Friday.
Defoe rolled his ankle awkwardly after prodding home his third goal of the evening and was visibly limping as he attempted to celebrate his hat-trick, and was swiftly substituted thereafter. He is now certain to miss the start of Spurs’ maiden Champions League campaign, and is also a major doubt for England’s next Euro 2012 qualifier against Montenegro on October 12th.

we are only 3 games into the season and the following internationals have all picked up bad injuries (oh and then there lampard and terry) – all key players
Kuyt
Defoe
Walcott
Rodwell
Dawson
Van Persie
Nasri
Balotelli
Dawson and Defoe? England can fuck right off next time there’s an international.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but did he not injure himself in the build up to our second goal against Switzerland? He may have got the original knock against Bulgaria, but he still played for about an hour a few days later…
[...] have confirmed that Jermain Defoe will be out of action for much longer than the six weeks that was initially reported [...]
