Tottenham could lose defender Sebastien Bassong for about four or five weeks with a hamstring after the 3-0 defeat at Arsenal.

The Frenchman, who moved from Newcastle during the transfer window, injured his hamstring in stoppage time in the Premier League game at the Emirates.

According to Sky Sports News, Bassong is very disappointed about his injury and the defeat.

"It's not good news. It's a hamstring. I'll be out maybe four or five weeks. It just feels like my muscle is gone," he said in the Daily Mirror.

"It was really not a good day for me or the club or the fans. It was the worst day of the season."

Bassong also wants his teammate to improve and keep up the standard. Tottenham had hoped to end a winless league run against their rivals Arsenal that stretched will now stretch for ten seasons.

"When you see that game, we can't stop at this level. If we stop working, we will be disappointed again and again. So to be in the top four we need more, much more.

"If we want to be in the top four, we have to win against these teams - Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City - and if not it's going to be difficult.

"This game just proved that we need to keep working and really work every day. We lost the game in one minute. In one minute we messed up the whole game.

"We've got big quality in the squad and we can still look to take that fourth position in the table but we need to work hard, stay focused and we need to improve."
