However, the big centre-back is hoping to return to the Spurs side for the live televised clash with the Foxes on October 19th.
"It's coming along as planned really and, hopefully, I should be training next week," he told the club's official website, www.spurs.co.uk.
"I think I'll have to wait until after the international break and it will give me a chance to make sure I get some good training under my belt before my next game.
"It was a tear, but not a bad one. I've been to Germany a few times to see the doctor and he has helped me quite a bit," he added.
"I'm doing some running at the moment, I haven't started yet on ball work, but I'm sure that will come towards the end of the week."
