Huddlestone was injured in the win over Everton

Tottenham midfielder Tom Huddlestone will see a specialist to assess the ankle ligament damage he suffered during Sunday's win over Everton.

The 23-year-old was injured when he was tackled by John Heitinga early in the second half and left White Hart Lane in a protective boot.

"Scans revealed that Tom has suffered damage to the ligaments in his right ankle," said a statement from the club.

"He will see a specialist before deciding on the best course of rehab."

England international Huddlestone joined Tottenham from Derby in July 2005.
