Vincent Janssen is being assessed by Holland doctors after suffering a memory blackout.

The Tottenham forward suffered suspected concussion after a collision with Belgium goalkeeper Simon Mignolet in last night’s friendly between the countries and “lost 20 minutes of his memory”.

Players are usually not allowed to return to action for at least six days after a possible concussion incident, meaning Janssen is highly likely to miss Holland’s World Cup qualifier in Luxembourg on Sunday.

Holland coach Danny Blind said: “Vincent Janssen is going to be a very difficult story. The physician told me it is a concussion. He lost 20 minutes of his memory and doesn’t know what happened. We have to be careful with that and talk it through.”

Janssen may also be a doubt for Tottenham’s next match against West Ham, on November 19, although more will be known after he has been assessed in the coming days.
