Bottom Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur have been hit by another blow after striker Roman Pavlyuchenko was ruled out for three weeks.
The news came after the Russia hit man underwent a scan on his ankle, which revealed a partially-torn ligament.
"Roman will now undergo further treatment on the ankle after specialists declared him unfit to play for the next three weeks," said a Spurs statement.
Pavlyuchenko was forced off during Spurs' 1-0 home defeat by Hull.
Tottenham are currently bottom of the Premier League after their worst start in the post-war era.
They have struggled for goals since strike duo Dimitar Berbatov and Robbie Keane were sold to Manchester United and Liverpool respectively.
Boss Juande Ramos has been under increasing pressure for failing to build on last season's Carling Cup win, while director of football Damien Comolli has also come under criticism for the club's transfer policy.

spurs wa*kers what league are going to play next season.... spurs will never be like arsenal.
Hope they do a Leeds They worst team ever in premier league lose home Sunderland & Hull in 1st 7 games I think got 2 points too many Chelsea must played really bad for not beat them Roll on May when they still ROCK bottom Goodbye and good Riddance
little muggy arsenal and man u fans talking @#$% as usual. women as well as if they really know anything about footie. only a mug judges a player after a handfull of games and thats were these mugs below me come in.
i think is gr8 4 Roman, now he has time to settle and now ppl wongu hype about him.
Somehow i think he is not injured, i think it's a football thing that new players if not playing well they always get injured early in their new pastures, to give them time to settle..
As 4 Roman he had an intense full season in Russia, rest well earned dude.
that last comment is @#$%, obviously a gunner fan (comment no 9), well our pitch maybe @#$% but we still put 5 past youn last season on it didnt we. We may have lost to hull at the wkend, but remember something, you have lost two games at your emirates, once to west ham and once to hull, hardly great teams eh
This just gets better.
After all the pre season talk... watching Spurs lurch from one crisis to another is a joy to behold. lol
hey, tottenham board, pls don't sack ramos until the epl finish, if must sack him, then sack him only after the epl finish, because i was so excited to see tottenham relegate, pls grant my wish.
i hate spurs i hope to god they go down but i do have to thank them 4 BERBATOV wat a play he will take UNITED to the trebble (COME ON UNITED)
Thanx for that insight.
Warning. Some clubs can go up and some can also go down.
angga, you need to get some help on how to think. First things can get better as much they can get worse.. Second, do you think they are focusing on winning the PL? Of course they care about relegation at this point of time...
"stupid yud team...u will never win anything.."
Nice comment from a Gooner i see. What your missing from thi spoint is in fact, less than a year a go, we DDI win something!!! Although not the greatest competition to win, 1 trophy more than the other side of North London.
Thats something to thnk about before you start making stupid, untrue comments!
Looking at the situation, things can only get worse for spurs. After only gaining 2 points after 7 matches, you won't see any miracle. Personally I thing they should solely focus in surviving to avoid relegation.
spurs are @#$%!!! they sold their top strikers to top clubs (which is good, thanks). now they have no top goalscorer and i hope they will continue this form 4ever
If Tottenham really don't turn around their season as of now, Juande Ramos can kiss White Hart Lane good bye. I think Tottenham have alot of potential with the young David Bently. They have Pavlyuchenko who is a pretty good striker but I think will not be a good fit in the EPL. I think the main problem with Ramos' squad is that he is not playing Bent and Pavlyuechenko together that is the problem. But they really need to fix their defense its a mess. Lets face it Ledly King was never superior, Gareth Bale isn't the best Full Back and Vedran Corluka is good but still so young and inexperienced in the defence. Gomes the goalie also makes little mistakes that end up in the back of the net.
IT'S JUST ANOTHER LAME EXCUSE.
FACE IT - THEY'RE GOING DOWN.
AND NOBODY OUTSIDE NORFF LAHNDAN CARES.
MAKES NUFC LOOK GOOD!
they have never won in the league this season... to be exact...
LOUSY TEAM LIKE TOTTENHAM SPEND ALOT OF MONEY BUYING GOOD PLAYER BUT THE RESULT SHOWN VERY POOR,SO FAR ONLY ONE TIME WIN IN EINGISH PREIMER LEAGUE.
tottenham is ****ing @#$%, bottom of the table underneath everyone's butt, juande ramos is just like a typical woman who loves shopping around but buys useless things
i guess we hav 2 spent tis season on mid table nt aiming 4 champions league place
