Tottenham fullback Serge Aurier fears AFCON campaign over

Tottenham fullback Serge Aurier fears his AFCON campaign is over.

Ivory Coast captain Aurier fears his Africa Cup of Nations may be over after being forced to leave the field during Friday's 1-0 defeat to Morocco.

The right-back is coming off an injury-filled season at Tottenham during which he was sidelined at various stages of by a thigh problem, groin injury and hamstring tear.

"I think it may be over because I felt something. It may be a tear," he said without giving more details about the injury.

"The Moroccans were better committed and created more goal opportunities. Our goal tonight was to qualify for the round of 16 but we still have one game left for that."
