Kane’s injury concern

-

TOTTENHAM and England face an anxious wait to discover the extent of Harry Kane’s ankle injury.

Striker Kane limped off in the first half of Spurs’ 4-1 Premier League win at Bournemout­h yesterday having hurt himself in the process of scoring a disallowed goal.

The 24-year-old will undergo a scan today to determine the severity of the problem, which could have serious ramificati­ons for both club and country.

Tottenham face an FA Cup quar ter-final at Swansea this weekend as they look to end a decadelong wait for silverware, while Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate will on Thursday name his squad for friendlies against Holland and Italy with the start of the World Cup just three months away.

Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino is hopeful of a positive outcome for the Premier League’s joint leading goalscorer.

He said: “We need to wait because we need to make a scan of his ankle.

“Of course he suffered an injury that is in the same ankle he suffered before but we hope that it’s not a massive issue.”
