Harry Kane injury update: Tottenham star could MISS Champions League showdown
HARRY KANE could be set to miss games against Chelsea, Newcastle and Borussia Dortmund and sit out for a month after suffering injury against Manchester United.
Tottenham: Pochettino gives Harry Kane injury update
That is according to The Guardian.
Kane went down in the final minute of Tottenham’s 1-0 loss against United at Wembley.
He was seen clutching his ankle, and physios were sent onto the pitch, leaving Spurs fans sweating.
The ankle is still reportedly too swollen for Spurs staff to be able to tell what the damage is, but the star is reportedly concerned that he may be out for a month.
Spurs are set to lose Son Heung-Min for the Asia Cup, and will be short of options up front if Kane is forced to miss games, heavily denting their slim title chances.
Fernando Llorente could be set to take Kane’s place in the team, as Spurs have reportedly removed him from the transfer list.
The Spaniard is out of contract in the summer and will reportedly not be offered a new deal.
But instead of trying to offload the striker in January, Tottenham will apparently decide on his future when they know more about Kane’s injury.

Manager Mauricio Pochettino admitted that Kane will be a big miss to the team if the injury is bad, while criticising referee Mike Dean for not giving a foul.
“It was a clear foul on Harry Kane, a big hit,” he said.
“Mike Dean said he didn't see it.
“It was a bad tackle and now he has bit of a swelling on his ankle.
