The 22-year-old will now undergo a period of rehabilitation with the club's medical staff.

Alli is the latest of a number of key Tottenham players to suffer injuries.

Striker Harry Kane will also be absent until early March with an ankle injury, while midfielder Moussa Sissoko is out for two weeks with a groin problem.

Meanwhile, Son Heung-min is on Asian Cup duty with South Korea, who are into the quarter-finals after 2-1 extra-time win over Bahrain in Dubai. The final will be played on 1 February.
