Opponent Beat His Ankles, Harry Kane Is Threatened With Absence For Several Weeks
JAKARTA - Tottenham Hotspur is in danger of losing their flagship striker Harry Kane for weeks after he injured his ankle in Friday's 1-3 home defeat to Liverpool.
Kane, who has scored 12 goals in the Premier League this season, missed the second half after receiving two first-half medical treatments.
This will be a punch in the fact to the coach, Jose Mourinho, especially with Kane's recent history of his ankle injury.
"Two ankles, the first one because of a bad tackle by Thiago, the second one I don't really know (the cause)", Mourinho said after the match.
"However, two injuries to both ankles, the second one is more severe than the first - happened in a few weeks, I don't know".
With a busy schedule to come, starting with the away games against Brighton on Monday and Hove Albion and the home clash with Chelsea next week, Kane's absence will be affecting the match.
"There are some players you cannot replace. When that happens, I believe we have to fight, we can't do anything else", said Mourinho.
