Tottenham goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes has been ruled out for four weeks after undergoing surgery on his left knee.

Gomes, who lost his place as Spurs number one following Brad Friedel's summer arrival, went under the knife yesterday after a scan revealed a tear of his medial meniscus.

Gomes, 31, has made just four appearances this season, none in the Barclays Premier League.
