Harry Kane is set to miss two months with an ankle injury, making him doubtful for England’s World Cup qualifier against Scotland at Wembley on November 11.Two scans on Monday showed there was no fracture but the Tottenham striker has suffered ligament damage.Spurs are concerned it will fall into the category of grade two damage, which would normally rule out a player for six to eight weeks. Kane was hurt making a tackle on Sunderland’s Papy Djilobodji late in Sunday’s 1-0 victory at White Hart Lane.
His right foot twisted under his body-weight, the ankle buckled and the 23-year-old, having scored the only goal of the game, was carried off on a stretcher. He left the stadium on crutches, wearing a protective boot.
Eric Dier and Mousa Dembele were also forced off against Sunderland with hamstring trouble and have had precautionary scans.
Kane’s injury will lead to an opportunity for Vincent Janssen, the 22-year-old signed for £18.5million from AZ Alkmaar in the summer.
Janssen’s appearances have been limited by Kane but he is set to step in for the EFL Cup tie against Gillingham tomorrow.
Dele Alli, meanwhile, has signed a new six-year deal at Tottenham thought to be worth £50,000 a week.
Alli, 20, follows Christian Eriksen and Dier, who have recently committed their futures to the club. Kyle Walker, Danny Rose and Jan Vertonghen are expected to do the same soon.
