Unpopular I know but reckon Kane is out till the gooners game
Maybe, but that's a largely untested assumption in the 13 games you're talking about.
And another thing, we've been brilliant without Kane, where we've struggled is with the half-fit Kane we always get when he insists on coming back too soon.
Or he’s talking into his mic to the sidelines. One or the other.Lad on the right cant hold back the tears.
Not sure how we will cope with both him and Son out, it’s gonna be rough, especially with the chavs breathing down our necks.
It is his dodgy ankle and I just read that Poch said it was swollen and he was limping, I hope to fuck it isn't ligament damage.
Not that it's gospel but Robbie Keane said from the look of the injury, he'd be looking at 3 to 4 weeks out.
Kane has had 3 ankle injuries since 2016 and each time he was out for a minimum of 3 weeks. His first ankle injury in 2016 saw him miss 11 games and he was out for just over 5 weeks. His last two ankle injuries though (2017 and 2018) saw him out for on average 3 weeks though and he missed 3 and 2 games respectively.
I would assume based on this, if it's an ankle injury similar to those he had before and it's on the same ankle, he'll likely miss:
Fulham (A) - League
Chelsea (A) - League Cup
Crystal Palace (A) - FA Cup
Watford (H) - League
Newcastle (H) - League
I assume he'll probably be back for Leicester at home on 10th February ready for the big Champions League game against Dortmund in the week.
Funnily enough, this could also potentially be Son's first game back too if South Korea make it all the way to the Asian Cup final.
Makes no difference. If he's done his ligaments, which he probably has, hobbling off doesn't damage them even more.
Like Bale, Kane's ankle will go again and again. The good news is if it's the same ankle he's previously injured the recovery is much quicker as the ligament is has been usually stretched. If it's his other ankle (can't recall if his two previous ankle injuries were to the same one or not) i.e new ligament damage then it's a much longer recovery period. Looking at Kane I think he knows it's a bad one and he's out.
To tell the truth, 3rd of 4th doesn't matter to me, we simply need to focus on making sure Man U don't make up 7 points on us now and that we give it a good old go to get some silverware.
What a difference a day makes hey? Need an absolutely colossal effort in that return leg against Chelsea now but I think we'll still make it through
Any word on our man yet? Hoping for the best
Swelling has to go down before he can be properly assessed. So no news yet
Still no footage from Sky other than the live view at the time. Their "replay machine broken" again. Poch has a view, why don't Spurs put a video up on their website of the challenge by Jones??
