Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed that Wilson Odobert has sustained a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament and will need surgery on the injury.
Odobert was forced off with injury just after the half-hour mark in Tuesday's loss to Newcastle United. The forward tried to hook his leg round Harvey Barnes to intercept the ball but jarred his left knee in the turf.
After receiving treatment, Odobert walked off the pitch and headed straight down the tunnel. Now, the club have confirmed he will face a period on the sidelines.

A club statement read: "We can confirm that Wilson Odobert has sustained a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. The 21-year-old French forward suffered the injury during the first half of our Premier League fixture against Newcastle United on Tuesday.
"Wilson will see a specialist next week before undergoing surgery, and will then commence his rehabilitation with our medical staff."
Odobert's injury adds to the long list of injuries at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with 10 players currently out. James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski have both been long-term absentees for Spurs, with Mohammed Kudus and Rodrigo Bentancur also out.
Richarlison has been out with an hamstring injury since January 10, while Ben Davies has missed the last six games. Lucas Bergvall and Pedro Porro were recently ruled out, with Destiny Udogie joining them with an hamstring injury last week.
