Harry Kane: Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino fears star striker is ruled out for season

Harry Kane may not play for Tottenham again this season, Mauricio Pochettino admitted.

Spurs star Kane, 25, was forced off the field in their 1-0 Champions League victory on Tuesday against Manchester City.

It was a late challenge from Fabian Delph which forced the England striker straight off the field.

And his boss, Pochettino, reckons it looks bleak for Kane after confirming a ‘significant lateral ligament injury’ to his left ankle.

“He was so upset after the game, it was a difficult moment for him,” Pochettino said.

“We feel so disappointed and it was difficult to accept the situation. He is now much better, he has the scan yesterday and he needs to see the specialist next week. He is in a good place because he is a positive guy. It is a little bit sad but he is looking forward to recovering as soon as possible.”

When asked if he believes Kane could return this season, the manager said: “We’ll see, there is five weeks, it is going to be difficult.

“Next week we are going to see with the specialist. We are going to do everything to recover him as soon as possible but there is only five weeks of the season to recover.”
