Tottenham confirm Vertonghen has passed all concussion tests today

Tottenham have confirmed on their official website that Jan Vertonghen has passed all concussion tests today and will see a neurologist for further test in the next few days.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT

Jan Vertonghen has undergone further assessment today (Wednesday 1 May) after sustaining a head injury in last night's Champions League semi-final first leg against Ajax. He also suffered a small cut to his nose that was bleeding heavily.

The Belgium defender was assessed on the pitch yesterday immediately after the incident with our medical team strictly following Football Association concussion guidelines.

Following testing he was judged to be alert and answered all questions correctly and lucidly, deeming him fit to return to the field of play.

All available video footage was relayed to our on-pitch medical team and they were able to confirm that he had suffered no loss of consciousness.

Jan was immediately withdrawn as a result of the player informing medical staff that symptoms were developing suddenly and that he no longer felt stable standing up.

Tests today have been clear and testing will continue for the next few days. Additionally, as is standard Club policy with certain injuries, we shall also be seeking independent advice and Jan is due to see a neurologist, who specialises in elite athletes, tomorrow. The player has reported no ill-effects today.
