Alderweireld was stretchered off following a collision with team-mate Jan Vertonghen in the 1-1 draw with West Brom yesterday.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino was clearly concerned about the injury ahead of their Champions League trip to Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday.
"With Toby we need to wait 24-48 hours, he got a heavy knock in his leg," Pochettino said.
"We will see what happens, now it is very painful. We need to know the problem because it is very difficult [for him to go to Leverkusen]."

However, the Belgium international seems to be on the mend and was shown in a video today without any visible knee brace.
The centre-half was playing video game Call of Duty along with a host of Spurs stars including Eric Dier and Christian Eriksen.
Tottenham travel to the BayArena to face Bundesliga giants Leverkusen on Tuesday night (7.45pm).
