Tottenham Hotspur manager, Mauricio Pochettino has revealed that
Harry Kane’s season may have come to an end after he suffered another
injury to his left ankle in Tuesday’s a 1-0 victory against Manchester City at
Wembley.
Kane twisted his
ankle in a challenge with Fabian Delph and had to be brought out. The
striker is just returning to the pitch six weeks after sustaining a smilar
injury.
This is his third injury in 13 months which is a big blow to
Spurs who need the striker to help not only in their Champions League
progression this season, but also qualification for next year.
“Very sad” injury
to the Spurs striker could rule the 25-year-old out for the remainder of the
campaign.
“It’s very, very
sad,” Pochettino said. “It’s going to be tough and we’re going to miss him –
maybe for the rest of the season.”
Pochettino added
that City should still be considered the favourites to progress to the
semi-finals.
“It was an
unbelievable game, so tough. We’re happy but Man City are still the favourites
and there’s still a second leg which is going to be tough. We showed great
quality and the performance was good.
“It was a very good
game, we were excited and motivated to play a quarter-final, the penalty save
was fantastic and gave the belief to us. And I think that with the spirit we
played today anything is possible.”
