A painful blow to Tottenham. The club announced Thursday that Harry Kane is suffering from a rupture of the back hip, is expected to undergo surgery and be absent for at least three months, until April. In fact, the striker will not play against Leipzig in the Champions League eighth, and will also miss the quarterfinals if his team qualifies.
Remember, Kane was injured in the league game with Southampton, where the Spurs lost 1: 0. The striker was replaced in the 75th minute after suffering hip pain.
At a press conference earlier in preparation for the game against Liverpool on Saturday (7:30 pm), team coach Jose Mourinho said: "I have a feeling there will be more bad news than good, which is what the player feels, and that he left the game the way he left. Twice, it didn't take him even two seconds to understand the severity of the situation. "
Mourinho was asked if they were planning to bring in a replacement for the injured striker and replied: "I think it is irreplaceable, but we should try to find solutions with the players there."
