Tottenham midfielder Harry Winks says he still hopes to play again this season after undergoing groin surgery on Monday. Spurs announced Winks was recovering after having his operation, but the 23-year-old England international later claimed on his social media accounts that he had not written this season off.

Winks will miss the first leg of Tottenham’s Champions League semi-final against Ajax on Tuesday night and is highly unlikely to be fit for the return leg in Amsterdam on May 8. He wrote on Instagram: “I’m absolutely gutted that I’ve needed to have surgery at such a vital point in our season.
“We’ve tried everything to avoid this action but I’m very hopeful that this is not the end of the season for me yet in what has been a great year for the team and me personally. I will be doing everything in my power to get back as quickly as possible.
” Winks, a regular under Mauricio Pochettino this season, has not appeared for Spurs since sustaining the injury in their Champions League quarter-final first-leg win against Manchester City earlier this month. A statement released by the club earlier on Monday read: “Harry Winks has today undergone groin surgery. The England midfielder will be monitored by our medical staff as he continues his recovery before commencing rehabilitation.”
