Tottenham midfielder Nacer Chadli out injured for 6 weeks

LONDON (AP) - Tottenham says midfielder Nacer Chadli will be out for six weeks with an ankle ligament injury sustained against Liverpool.

The Belgium international went down after only eight minutes of the 0-0 draw on Saturday at White Hart Lane. He attempted to continue but was eventually taken off on a stretcher after 11 minutes.

The 26-year-old Chadli's time out means he is expected to miss Tottenham's Premier League matches against London rivals Arsenal on Nov. 8 and Chelsea on Nov. 29.
