Knee surgery
Sissoko suffered the injury during the New Years' match against Southampton.
This is the second injury blow to the club in the last one week after star striker Harry Kane suffered a hamstring tear during the same match. Last week, the club confirmed that Kane's injury, however, did not give a time frame for his return to the first team. Head coach Jose Mourinho had stated that he expected 'bad news'.
Sissoko's teammate, Toby Alderweireld took to Twitter to wish him a speedy recovery.
