Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has admitted it will be ‘difficult’ for Harry Kane to play for the club again this season, after he suffered a ‘significant lateral ligament injury’ to his left ankle.
The England striker came out on the wrong end of a robust challenge from his international team-mate Fabian Delph in Tuesday night’s Champions League clash against Manchester City.
