Fears Harry Kane could miss the rest of the SEASON for Tottenham after picking up another ankle injury in FA Cup win over Millwall
TOTTENHAM fear Harry Kane could miss the rest of the season with an ankle injury.
Kane rolled over on his right ankle just five minutes into the club’s FA Cup quarter-final win over Millwall and hobbled out of White Hart Lane on crutches with his foot in a protective boot.

And boss Mauricio Pochettino admits the injury looks the same as the one the 24-goal striker suffered against Sunderland earlier in the season.
That kept Kane out for almost two months.

Pochettino said: "He twisted his ankle, now we wait assess tomorrow and see what has happened.

"But it looks a similar injury to the one he got against Sunderland."
Kane had just fired in a shot on goal when he landed awkwardly, with the joint bucking under him as he fell.
And after receiving treatment for a couple of minutes the physio decided it was not safe for him to continue so he trudged dejectedly back down the tunnel.
The England star has been in electric form in front of goal this season, scoring 19 times in the Premier League in just 22 appearances.
And he had been in a rich vein of form in recent weeks, hitting 12 goals in his last ten matches - a run that has seen him score three hat-tricks.
But he also missed seven weeks earlier in the campaign with the injury he collected in the game against Sunderland - and Spurs discovered that Vincent Janssen was not a capable understudy.
That fact was never more evident than as Kane limped off against Millwall, boss Mauricio Pochettino decided against bring on Janssen and introducing Christian Eriksen instead.

But if Kane is absent for any length of time it would seriously hamper their chances of maintaining the push to finish in the top four.
And he is now also a doubt for the England squad for the World Cup qualifier against Lithuania and friendly against Germany, which is due to be named on Thursday.
