"It will be very frustrating to miss the pre-season games and the start of the season," he told the Spurs official website.
"You go through pre-season to get your fitness up and get ready for the start of the season then something like this happens.
"It sets you back a bit, but I will keep myself ticking over and strong. Hopefully I will be back in not too long a time.
"I am usually a quick healer, so, I will be back sooner than we expect."
