KANE KO 'It is going to be a massive problem' - Pochettino gives worrying Kane update
Starloaded | Jan. 13, 2019
Mauricio Pochettino admitted Tottenham Hotspur will be in serious trouble if Harry Kane picked up an ankle injury against Manchester United.
The striker was caught accidentally during the closing stages at Wembley, as Spurs searched desperately for an equaliser.
Marcus Rashford scored what proved to be the winner in the first half as United held on to win 1-0, with David De Gea deserving much of the plaudits.
While the result will certainly sting for Spurs, the thought of losing their talisman will terrify the Argentine, who watched helplessly from the sidelines as Kane winced and grimaced on the turf in a heap.
Although the 26-year-old eventually hobbled off the pith without any assistance, Pochettino admitted there was already swelling on his ankle.
“We will assess him,” Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino told Sky Sports .
