Tottenham’s Harry Kane receives medical attention after sustaining an injury before being substituted
Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Michel Vorm has told Talksport he hopes Harry Kane will return from his injury quickly.
Kane suffered an ankle injury against Sunderland last weekend minutes after scoring the winning goal, and faces a spell on the sidelines.

The Guardian report he could face six to eight weeks on the sidelines, giving fellow striker Vincent Janssen an opportunity to shine.
Janssen scored his first competitive goal for Spurs this week from the penalty spot in a 5-0 EFL Cup win over Gillingham.
Vorm said he backs fellow Dutchman Janssen to shine, but wants Kane back as soon as possible.
He said: “He’s positive. If you know Harry he’s always positive.
“Obviously he’s disappointed it happened, but that’s football and we need to cope with it.
“That’s one of the reasons we have Vincent Janssen – to replace him [Kane] when he needs to.
“And Vincent played very well today so that’s good. But let’s hope Harry is back quick.”

Janssen was the top scorer in the Eredivisie last season and there are high hopes for him to be a success in the Premier League.
This weekend Spurs travel to Middlesbrough and will hope the midweek goal he netted gives him the confidence he needs to hit the ground running.
Sitting third in the Premier League, a win would be a big result with London rivals Arsenal and Chelsea playing against each other this Saturday.
