Davies ‌was injured during Spurs' 2-1 home defeat by struggling West Ham United in the Premier League ⁠on Saturday.

The 32-year-old was given oxygen ‌before being carried off on a stretcher ​19 minutes into the game.

"We can confirm that Ben Davies will undergo surgery today for a fracture of his left ankle," ‌Tottenham said on their website. "Following the surgery, Ben will commence his rehabilitation with our medical ⁠staff."

As well as another injury blow for Spurs, who are without several senior players ahead of Tuesday's home Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund, the injury to Davies could be a setback for Wales as they bid to reach the World ⁠Cup.

They face Bosnia-Herzegovina in their ‌World Cup playoff semi-final at Cardiff City Stadium on March 26th, with the winners at home to Northern Ireland or ⁠Italy on March 31st.
