Harry Kane Injury Update

“But it was great for us that Heung-Min Son got a hat-trick and Vincent Janssen scored”.

The FA Cup is known and loved for pitting teams from different divisions against each other and creating fantastic underdog stories, and this cup tie will be no different.

With Harry Kane and Son starting, goals were never going to be a rarity on the night but it was Christian Eriksen who opened the scoring a minute after half an hour had been played.

But Liverpool had to come from behind to see off Burnley after Ashley Barnes scored the visitors’ first goal at Anfield since 1975.

According to The Sun, he was later seen on crutches with his foot in a protective boot leading to further anxiety for Spurs fans hoping that it isn’t a serious injury.

“You’re always hopeful. Even at half-time we were saying “stay in the game”, maybe nicking one in the 90th minute”. If you are a footballer that’s what you want to hear and thanks to the fans, it was unbelievable. I want people dealt with harshly.

“I think the team has a pretty good balance”. That’s how much I believe they will struggle to cope without him.

If Janssen has started to train with more conviction and belief, and if he has started to grow used to the pace of the Premier League, then that could be a crucial resource for Spurs over the final straight this season.

“It looks like last time against Sunderland, it was the same ankle”, Pochettino told BBC Sport, referring to the injury he suffered against the north-east side in September.

Despite Kane’s absence, Tottenham were too strong for third tier Millwall and they marked the last FA Cup tie at the Lane before the stadium is demolished, with a commanding quarter-final display.

There was just time for Son to complete his hat-trick in added time as his close-range volley went straight through King and Alli was buoyed by the way the hosts responded to the injury to Kane. We have enough players to try and replace him.

They were heard chanting “DVD” and “You’re selling three for a fiver” at Son, thought to be in reference to the racist stereotype of traders selling bootleg copies of films. As a player, it makes me free to do my thing and go forward and I know there is someone there to cover me if I lose the ball.
