Blow for Tottenham as Kane suffers ankle injury

The England intetrnational striker collided with Bournemouth goalkeeper Asmir Begovic and limped off during the first half of Sunday's clash

Tottenham have potentially been dealt a major blow after Harry Kane limped off with an ankle injury against Bournemouth. 

With 30 minutes gone, Kane got on the end of a lofted Christian Eriksen pass and finished past Asmir Begovic before colliding with the Cherries goalkeeper. 

The goal was chalked off for offside and Kane remained down so as to receive medical attention. 

After being examined by Tottenham's physios, Kane limped off the pitch and went straight down the tunnel. He was replaced by Erik Lamela in the 34th minute. 

Spurs were down 1-0 at the time of Kane's withdrawal, though Dele Alli quickly equalised to make it 1-1 at the Vitality Stadium.

Spurs would go on to win the match 4-1, but the victory could prove costly. 

Kane suffered ligament damage last season in his right ankle, with an injury to the same side on Sunday no doubt causing concern for Spurs and England fans.

Following the match, Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino admitted he is concerned over his star striker. 

"Yes we are concerned because we still don't know what's going to happen with him," Pochettino told the BBC.

"We need to wait until tomorrow or after tomorrow to make the scan and see the reality. I hope that's it's not a massive problem."

The 24-year-old may not be the only injury concern to emerge from the game for Spurs either, with Danny Rose and Dele Alli each being forced off late in the match.
