Tottenham and played a vital role in the club&#8217;s comeback against Sheffield United\u00a0on Saturday, but he will now undergo surgery and likely miss the rest of the season.<\/p>\n<p>The club posted on X that the Croatia international picked up the injury in non-contract training ahead of the club&#8217;s game against Arsenal in the north London derby this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Perisic, 34, was a key member of Antonio Conte&#8217;s side last season, regularly featuring at wing back in a Spurs side that finished eighth in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>He has been more of a squad player since Ange Postegoclou arrived but has been used as a winger in a 4-3-3 formation under the Australian.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\"

Saturday, taking the corner to assist fellow sub Richarlison to score the equaliser before Dejan Kulusevski&#8217;s winner.<\/p>\n<p>He has made six appearances for Tottenham this season, with one showing in the Carabao Cup in the club&#8217;s penalty shootout defeat to Fulham, but his season is now likely over.<\/p>\n<p>At 34 and out of contract in the summer, it&#8217;s possible Perisic has played his last game for the club he joined from Inter Milan last season.<\/p>\n<p>In his Spurs career he has made 50 appearances to date, scoring one goal after arriving on a free transfer to join Conte&#8217;s men.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to his arrival he had spent seven years in Italy with Inter Milan, making just under 250 appearances with a loan move to Bayern Munich sandwiched in the middle.<\/p>\n<p>He has also played for Wolfsburg, Borussia Dortmund and Club Brugge during his career.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\"

in Russia.<\/p>\n<p>He is third on the list of all-time appearances for his county behind Luka Modric (168) and\u00a0Darijo Srna (134), and seemed a lock for the squad at this summer&#8217;s European

months away, it&#8217;s possible Perisic could be fit in time but he faces months of rehabilitation to recover from the injury once the surgery is complete.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING
