In all honesty, as soon as he went down the first time he should have been subbed straight off.
Considering his record of ankle injuries and the amount of games we have coming up, we shouldn't even have risked it.

I went back and watched the whole of that 4-2 FA Cup semifinal against Chelsea the other day. It was amazing how little difference there seemingly was between Kane then and now in terms of mobility. I think his mobility issues are overblown. What he really has now is stamina problems, but those are being successfully managed.
If he was the ticking timebomb you make out, he would've been injured by any one of the many genuinely strong tackles he's faced so far this season.
I was very concerned by what I saw in All or Nothing in terms of how injuries are treated at Spurs (and probably most big clubs). It seemed like the medical staff were fighting a constant losing battle with the coaching staff to get players adequate recovery time. I wouldn't be surprised if some combination of mismanagement of Kane's condition and ridiculous fixture crowding is the real culprit here.
Despite apparently being injury prone, he's played an absurd amount of football this season!
Can you or anyone else answer if the head medical bloke who was in all or nothing(sounded like a kiwi) is still at the club? I really felt him and José were at loggerheads.
I don't know the answer but I did interpret the situation in exactly the same way.
Possibly.
Mourinho is notoriously inexplicably arrogant and prickly towards medical personnel though. Not just his disgraceful treatment of the medical staff at Chelsea, but even during our games if you look at him sometimes he gesticulates angrily or as if it irritates him when a medical professional goes onto the field to treat a player, if in Mourinhos estimation it isn’t a major problem.
Clickbait. Everywhere else is saying 3-4 weeks.
Good job we got Vinny up to speed over the last 6 months......oh......wait
The Sun saying back for 21 feb but nobody will know until he has his scan results. I have a feeling it won’t be too bad this time, but knowing our luck, I’ll be wrong. Maybe if I waste a fantasy league transfer taking him out my team it will bring him back quicker. I usually make the wrong decision!
Or other players raise their game and step up now he’s not there to bale us out....
Learnt my lesson with grealish, I took him out and I couldn’t afford to get him back in. I’ll risk him on my bench. Not like it’ll cost me points there.

Is he the most hated player in the league? People clutching at straws to shit on him

It’s mental. And purely a jealousy thing.
Then when England play in the summer people will drool over them. Two faced twats.
100% it’s a pure jealousy thing. They hate the fact he proves everyone wrong. Before it was, can he do it every season. Then it was, can be do it against the elite. They have run out of things to say and hate it. They hate the fact Kane is the best striker on the planet and he plays for Spurs, it’s bitterness and jealousy all rolled into one
