The Spurs and England talisman is sidelined with an ankle injury picked up against Premier League and Champions League rivals Manchester City in midweek.
Tottenham Hotspur defender Kieran Trippier has sought to give an insight into Harry Kane’s road to recovery following his ankle injury.
The Spurs talisman was forced off in the second half of Tuesday’s 1-0 win over Manchester City in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie.
Kane had attempted to charge down Fabian Delph’s pass but he rolled his left ankle moments before the Citizens defender followed through and connected with the striker’s ankle.
On Thursday, Tottenham confirmed that the England captain had suffered a significant lateral ligament injury to his left ankle – the second ankle problem he has had in 2019.
Trippier admitted that Kane’s absence will be a massive blow within the Lilywhites camp, although he is confident the likes of Lucas Moura, Victor Wanyama and Fernando Llorente will step up to the plate.
Moving on to how the 2018 World Cup Golden Boot winner will set about coming back from his injury, the £31.5m-valued star (Transfermarkt) dropped a number of favourable hints that suggest his club and international teammate may not be out for too long.
“Harry is so professional,” he told Sky Sports News. “I know for a fact he will try to be back as quickly as possible. He doesn’t drink, he eats healthily and looks after himself, he is the best professional I have come across. He will be around the place and just his presence is important.”
Mauricio Pochettino has so far not given an estimate return date for Kane but just the fact he is such a professional who takes great care of himself will be incredibly reassuring to the Lilywhites faithful both in terms of this injury and going forward.
