Tottenham’s Toby Alderweireld limps off injured against Real Madrid with what appears to be pulled hamstring
Belgian was holding the back of his leg as he was hauled off for sub Moussa Sissoko
TOBY ALDERWEIRELD hobbled off for Tottenham in their blockbuster Champions League win over Real Madrid.
The Belgian held the back of his leg as he was substituted for Moussa Sissoko after just 24 minutes - but it was the only stain on a famous night for Spurs.
The bad news was overshadowed by a romping win by Mauricio Pochettino's men at Wembley.
Dele Alli scored twice and Christian Eriksen a third, with Cristiano Ronaldo hitting a consolation, as Spurs dominated the European champions.
Speaking after the game, Pochettino said that Alderweireld's injury was a "little bit bad", but the club "must assess it."
Alli slid in to give Spurs the lead at Wembley after a slick team move - although replays showed Kieran Tripper in an offside position as he fired in a ball across the face of goal.
The Spurs star then scored a deflected second, in off Sergio Ramos, before Eriksen scored a goal from a fine counter attack.
Spurs face Arsenal in the much-anticipated North London derby in just 17 days' time and Alderweireld, 28, could be a major doubt for the match if the muscle tear is severe.

Ben Davies also hobbled off just moments before the half-time whistle as Tottenham successfully saw out the first 45 minutes in the lead.
Real Madrid did have first-half chances from Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo, but despite hitting their shots on target, Hugo Lloris remained firm.
They then went on to win an incredible match that fans will never forget in a famous 3-1 win.
