LONDON (Reuters) - Jermain Defoe will miss what would have been his last match for Tottenham Hotspur because he is suffering with a hamstring injury, manager Tim Sherwood said on Wednesday.

Defoe, 31, was expected to make his 364th and final appearance for Spurs against Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk in their Europa League last 32, second leg match at White Hart Lane on Thursday when they will try to overturn a 1-0 first leg deficit.
