Tottenham reveal worrying extent of Harry Kane hamstring injury

Jose Mourinho is “totally convinced” Harry Kane will be out for some period of time with Tottenham revealing he suffered a torn hamstring.

The Spurs striker limped out of the 1-0 defeat at Southampton on New Year’s Day and will miss Sunday’s FA Cup third-round game against Middlesbrough.




Tottenham revealed on Friday that Harry Kane suffered a tear in his left hamstring and that medical staff will review the extent of the injury with ongoing treatment.

Speaking earlier on Friday, Mourinho said: “If you ask me just my feeling, good news or bad news, I am more bad news than good news, what the player felt, Harry Kane leaving a match the way he did.




“He didn’t think twice, didn’t take him two seconds to realise the severity of the situation.”

Mourinho said it is “too soon” for 17-year-old Troy Parrott to fill the England international’s boots, but that he is “not thinking about the market”.

“I think he’s irreplaceable,” said Mourinho. “But we have to try solutions in relation to the players we have. I come to work with the players that are available.”

Christian Eriksen will be in the squad to face Middlesbrough this week but losing him in the January window remains a possibility, Jose Mourinho confirmed.



Inter Milan are one of several teams to have contacted Eriksen’s representatives about his future, according to Sky Sports.

“In this moment he can agree with any club for the end of the season, that’s one option,” said Mourinho.

“Another option is a club and himself want to do a deal in January, but in that situation our club is in control. Another possibility is he stays.”
