Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp insists William Gallas' injury is serious.
Redknapp denied that he was playing mind games ahead of what is arguably the biggest fixture in the club's history against Real Madrid.
"As soon as William kicked the ball this morning, he collapsed in pain, so he's no good," Redknapp said.
"He has had three scans - two this week - because every time he goes to kick a ball, he can't strike it.
"We will shut him down until Monday now. He was out there today but he was way off. As soon as he went to kick a ball he collapsed in pain so I'm not kidding anyone about him."
