"Tottenham defender Ben Davies will have an operation on a broken ankle which could rule him out of Wales' World Cup play-off. The 32-year-old was given oxygen before being carried off on a stretcher after 19 minutes of Saturday's 2-1 Premier League defeat by West Ham. "We can confirm that Ben Davies will undergo surgery today for a fracture of his left ankle," read a Spurs statement. Tottenham did not give a timeframe on how long Wales captain Davies would be out for."
"Wales face Bosnia-Herzegovina in the World Cup play-off semi-final at Cardiff City Stadium on 26 March, with the winners at home to Northern Ireland or Italy in the final on 31 March. Davies joins a growing injury list for Tottenham, while manager Thomas Frank is under scrutiny with only seven wins from 22 league games this season and Spurs 14th in the table."
