'Man City's plan', 'are we cursed?' - supporters left furious after Spurs reveal terrible news

Tottenham may have to do without Harry Kane and Dele Alli for the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Manchester City.

Spurs have confirmed that Kane has suffered a 'significant' ligament injury to his ankle while Alli has fractured his left hand.

The latter is still in contention to face Huddersfield this weekend but a decision is yet to be made. The prognosis for the England captain seems somewhat more ominious.

"Investigations are ongoing and he will continue to be assessed by our medical staff over the coming week.

"We can also confirm that examinations have revealed that Dele Alli fractured his left hand during Tuesday's fixture.
