Harry Kane (28, Tottenham), who suffered an ankle injury, is likely to return earlier than expected.
English professional football Tottenham announced on the club’s website on the 1st (Korean time), “Director Jose Mourinho hopes Kane will return within two weeks.”
Kane suffered an ankle injury and fell on the ground during a home game in the 20th round of the 2020-2021 English Premier League (EPL) against Liverpool on the 29th of last month.
In the 13th minute of the first half, Thiago Alcantara (Liverpool) suffered a rough tackle and complained of ankle pain, and he was eventually replaced with the start of the second half.
Accordingly, local media reported that Kane may not be able to play for more than six weeks.
However, on that day, coach Mauinho mentioned Kane’s return.
“I don’t want to be overly optimistic, but Kane is pretty positive. He’s had an ankle injury like this before, and he thinks it will take about two weeks to heal.” Left a message.
Tottenham played low-ranking Brighton and Hove Albion in the 2020-2021 EPL round 21 away without Kane, but lost 0-1.
The number of shots was pushed from 8 to 16, and he seldom got a chance to attack due to being blocked by Brighton’s defense wall.
Son Heung-min, who showed fantastic breathing with Kane this season, struggled this day, but could not score a goal.
Meanwhile, Tottenham is currently sixth in the league.
