Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane believes he could miss the rest of the season, according to the Daily Telegraph.
The striker sustained a potentially serious ankle injury during Spurs’ 1-0 win over Manchester City in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final at the Etihad.
What’s the word?
The report claims that Kane is poised to undergo a scan but the England captain is not positive about his chances of making a swift recovery.
Spurs, of course, are attempting to finish in the top four, while Kane had the chance to win the Premier League Golden Boot in 2018-19.
Instead, it appears that he will miss the remaining six games of the campaign, including the second leg against City in the Champions League.
Kane is, however, said to be hopeful that he will be fit to play in England’s Nations League campaign this summer.
The Three Lions face Holland in June in the semi-finals.
Dele Alli is said to have sustained a potential broken hand against City, too, and the Telegraph claim the club are exploring the possibility of the midfielder playing with protective gear.
Son’s time
Son Heung-Min’s time has come.
The South Korea international scored a handful of goals when Kane was absent earlier this season and stepped up in his absence against City, scoring the only goal of the game.
In total, he has netted 18 goals in all competitions this term and Mauricio Pochettino would be wise to play him as a striker in Kane’s absence.
Indeed, Son is perhaps the finest attacker at the club outside of the Three Lions star and he offers both intense pace and an eye for goal.
There is not a better or more obvious substitution Spurs can make.
