Harry Kane has once again set off all the alarms at Tottenham. As a reminder of what last season was, and what this season can be without him, his injury surely hurt even more than the loss to Liverpool. “There are players who are irreplaceable,” Jose Mourinho confessed, at the end of the game. Still without a firm diagnosis, but with the Portuguese feeling that may be out “several weeks”, the 10 of the English team left the field at half-time with both ankles affected.

“The second injury was worse than the first. For Harry to leave the field when the team was losing it had to be something important, but both ankles were swelling, “explained his coach, who saw how two tough tackles by Thiago Alcántara and Jordan Henderson they left him without the star of his team. “I don’t know how long we’ll be without him, now it’s time to wait, but both ankles have been injured. He told me that he could bear the pain in one of them, but having both affected is much more difficult and painful. He’s a boy who doesn’t mind sacrificing himself and fighting pain, but in this case it was very difficult. “

The player also has a history of significant ankle injuries. In season 16-17 he missed 10 weeks of competition, in season 17-18 one month, and in 18-19, he could not participate in another 16 games. Last year, his left thigh injury on New Years left him out for several months and thwarted any aspiration for Tottenham to qualify for the Champions League.

The defeat has left the spurs sixth in the Premier League, and, in addition to the next game against Brighton, they will have to face the new Chelsea de Thomas Tuchel in just two days, so it seems almost impossible for Kane to be there by then.
