Tottenham Hotspur's Matt Doherty leaves the pitch for treatment on Saturday

Tottenham full-back Matt Doherty is set to miss the rest of the season, including the Republic of Ireland's Nations League games in June, after picking up a serious knee injury in Spurs' 4-0 win over Aston Villa on Saturday.

Reports say the injury is a ruptured medial collateral ligament in his knee - sustained following a robust challenge from Villa's Matty Cash.
