Tottenham’s Harry Kane is injured How long will Tottenham be without Harry Kane?
Kane was injured in the final minutes of Saturday’s Premier League match with Manchester United.
On Tuesday Spurs confirmed that Kane damaged ligaments in his ankle. The Lillywhites announced.
He will continue to be monitored by our medical staff as he commences rehabilitation and is expected to return to training in early March.
As for Kane, he posted the following update on his injury on social media.
Injuries are part of the game but no-one will be working harder to get back fit. Thanks for the messages. pic.twitter.com/cUeq4zFrlk

Yet, according to the London Evening Standard on Wednesday, Kane could be back for Spurs before March.
Indeed, it’s reported that Kane is aiming at returning to action for the Carabao Cup semi-final second-leg against Chelsea.
Tottenham have a 1-0 lead head to Stamford Bridge.
The Chelsea vs Spurs match is scheduled for February 24.
Kane also has a second target in mind: to return for Tottenham before their next north London derby against Arsenal.
Arsenal take on Tottenham in the Premier League on March 2.
While Tottenham fans will be encouraged to read about Kane’s positivity, the reality is that Kane could also be out for longer than the current outlined timetable.
Going on past experiences, the fear for Spurs fans is that Kane’s injury may actually take longer to heal from than expected.
It’s also worth noting that Kane is now injured just when Son Hueng-min has left Spurs to play for South Korea at the Asian Cup.
