Ben Davies injury: Tottenham star stretchered off against West Ham after Bowen clash - will he play for Spurs again?
Ben Davies was given oxygen and had his leg placed in a brace after suffering a serious injury this afternoon.
The Spurs defender 32, slid into a challenge on West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen in the 15th minute. West Ham’s captain was able to continue, but Davies stayed down in distress.
Medical staff rushed on and administered specialist treatment. Davies was given oxygen, his injured leg was strapped into a brace, and he was carried off on a stretcher.
As he was carried away, referee Jarred Gillett booked Davies for the challenge as he was taken from the pitch. Davies was replaced at left-back by Djed Spence in the 19th minute.
At the time of publication, Tottenham have not given any updates about Davies’ injury, with the Welshman currently being the club’s longest-serving player.
Davies is out of contract at the end of the season, and a long spell on the sidelines could mean he has played his final game for the club.
The injury also casts doubt over his chances of helping Wales qualify for the World Cup, and subsequently featuring at the tournament in North America this summer.
Spurs were already 1–0 down at the time, with Crysencio Summerville’s deflected strike having put West Ham ahead moments earlier.
