Whiteman was due to play some part in Wednesday’s friendly against local side Lion City Sailors.

New boss Ange Postecologou is understood to have been impressed with the former Under-19 England international during this Asia-Pacific tour.

It is a blow for Whiteman and Spurs, who have experienced a dreadful pre-season tour of Asia.

Whiteman’s injury comes just days after their friendly against Leicester was called off due to a waterlogged pitch.
