Harry Kane suffered ankle ligament damage and Dele Alli fractured his hand during their Champions League victory over Manchester City on Tuesday, Tottenham have confirmed.
Kane was forced off after his own tackle on City full-back Fabian Delph resulted in the damage to his left ankle.
“Following assessment over the past two days, we can confirm that Harry Kane has sustained a significant lateral ligament injury to his left ankle following a challenge in our Champions League quarter-final, first-leg win against Manchester City,” the club statement read.
“Investigations are ongoing and he will continue to be assessed by our medical staff over the coming week.”
Spurs were dealt another blow when Kane’s England team-mate Alli went off clutching his left hand later in the second half.
Tottenham have confirmed that Alli suffered a fracture, but there remains hope that he could be available to face Huddersfield in the Premier League on Saturday.
“We can also confirm that examinations have revealed that Dele Alli fractured his left hand during Tuesday’s fixture,” the club statement continued.
“The England midfielder will now be assessed to determine his availability for this weekend’s fixture against Huddersfield Town.”
