Spurs Star Kane Set For Long Absence

By Daily Sports on January 4, 2020

Harry Kane faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines after Tottenham revealed the striker suffered a tear in his left hamstring during Wednesday's loss to Southampton.

Kane limped off during the 1-0 loss at St Mary's and Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho admitted he feared it would be "bad news" once the England captain had scans on the injury.

Those fears have come true, with Tottenham saying in a statement: "Following assessment today (Friday), we can confirm that Harry Kane suffered a tear in his left hamstring during our New Year's Day fixture against Southampton.

Our medical staff will continue to review the injury with treatment ongoing."

Kane responded to the blow by tweeting: "Head up. Tough times don't last, tough people do."

Mourinho had already ruled Kane out of Sunday's FA Cup third round trip to Middlesbrough, but he expects the club's leading scorer to be out for much longer than that.

Tottenham have yet to give a timeframe for Kane's return.

"I don't know yet, maybe later today we have news but if you ask me just my feeling, good news or bad news, I am more on bad news than good news, that's my feeling," Mourinho said earlier on Friday.

"What the player felt, Harry Kane leaving a match, the way he did it, he didn't think twice, it didn't take him two seconds to realise the severity of the situation.

"Some opinions from the medical department before the test results. I don't think we're going to have good news."

The loss of Kane is a huge setback for Spurs, who are stuttering under Mourinho after an initial bounce following his appointment in November. (SuperSport)
