Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino accepted the thought of being injury prone could play on Harry Kane's mind after his latest setback.
The England captain will find out the full extent of his ankle ligament problem next week when he visits a specialist but he looks set to miss the rest of the season, starting with Saturday's lunchtime visit of Huddersfield.
Kane suffered his fifth ankle ligament injury since September 2016 in a challenge with Fabian Delph during Spurs' 1-0 Champions League win over Manchester City on Tuesday, and his second in three months.
