The German international was caught by the Spurs defender in a challenge during the Champion’s League group game at Wembley on Wednesday night.

The Dortmund coach later confirmed that the striker suffered extensive dental injuries and will undergo urgent dental treatment. Coach Peter Bosz said that it was upsetting even to talk about the injuries and confirmed that some of Gotze’s teeth had been displaced.
