Tottenham Hotspur's major summer signing Dimitar Berbatov will be sidelined for at least a fortnight after aggravating a groin injury in training.

The 25-year-old Bulgaria international has only made three appearances for Spurs since his £10.9million arrival from Bayer Leverkusen and now faces further time out of action.

Head coach Martin Jol confirmed: "He is going to take some time to recover. It could take another couple of weeks for him to come back.

"We pushed him to come back because we needed him and he was pushing himself.

"But he could not come back against Fulham last week and it has proved the case again this week.

"He is still feeling pain and we will have to wait for him to come back.

"We are having problems scoring goals at the moment and we are looking for the attacking players to be more productive for us."

Berbatov, 25, has scored once in his three outings for Spurs, finding the net in the 2-0 win at Sheffield United a month ago.
