Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho has raised the possibility that Harry Kane could be out until next campaign and miss Euro 2020.
The England international underwent surgery on a hamstring injury on Saturday after suffering a ruptured tendon at Southampton and Spurs have said they expect him to be back in training in April.
Mourinho has been asked repeatedly when exactly the England captain might be back, but has not been able to be more specific about it.
He was again questioned ahead of Spurs’ FA Cup replay with Middlesbrough on Tuesday and his answer suggested there could be some doubt over Kane’s participation at the Euro 2020 this summer.
“News on Harry we don’t have and if you ask me every time we come here the answer will be the same,” Mourinho said.
“We expect him to be out until, I don’t know, mid-April, end of April, May, next season I don’t know.
“I have no updates to give on Harry.”
Harry Kane tweeted from his hospital bed that his operation was a success and that he was keen to get on with his recovery.
The striker has a history of recovering quickly from injuries, but Mourinho’s comments will concern England head coach Gareth Southgate ahead of the summer tournament where his team play their three group matches at Wembley.
Kane was the leading scorer in Euro 2020 qualifying stages with 12 goals. And The Three Lions play their first match of the competition against Croatia on June 14.
