The Tottenham Hotspur striker is currently out injured.
Swansea City boss Carlos Carvalhal spoke to reporters ahead of his side’s FA Cup clash with Tottenham today, and highlighted the strength in depth that Mauricio Pochettino currently has at his disposal, as quoted by Spurs’ official website.
The Lilywhites won 4-1 away at Bournemouth last weekend, but lost Harry Kane to an injury that could keep him out of action for around a month.
Tottenham have proved that they can compete at the very highest level against some of Europe’s best teams this season, and despite their exit from the Champions League, they have definitely improved and evolved as a football club.
Carvalhal spoke to reporters yesterday, and explained how Spurs will still be incredibly strong opponents without Harry Kane, as quoted by the club’s official website:
“Last week they were losing 1-0 when Kane came off injured and they won 4-1. Of course he is a fantastic striker – I like him a lot – but the big teams can replace good players with good players.”
In the absence of Kane, Pochettino has the option of playing Fernando Llorente through the middle or he could keep faith in Heung-Min Son, after the South Korean’s fine display away at Bournemouth last weekend.
Whoever the Argentine chooses to play up front, Swansea will be in for an extremely tough afternoon today, and will have to be at their very best, if they are to have any chance whatsoever of progressing through to he semi-finals of the FA Cup.
