Mauricio Pochettino has confirmed he expects Harry Kane to miss the rest of the season after picking up an injury in their 1-0 Champions League win over Manchester City.
Kane hobbled down the tunnel after being involved in a strong challenge with Fabian Delph in the second half.
Heung Min Son's striker ensured that Spurs have something to take to the Etihad Stadium next week but it looks like Spurs will be without Kane for the second leg and potentially for the remainder of the campaign.

Speaking to BT Sport Pochettino explained: "Of course we need to check tomorrow but it looks like it's the same ankle and a similar issue.
"It's very, very sad, we're very disappointed. It's going to be tough and we are going to miss him - maybe until the end of the season."
Pochettino added that he thinks City should still be considered the favourites going into the second leg.
“It was an unbelievable game, so tough. We're happy but Man City are still the favourites and there's still a second leg which is going to be tough. We showed great quality and the performance was good.
“It was a very good game, we were excited and motivated to play a quarter-final, the penalty save was fantastic and gave the belief to us. And I think that with the spirit we played today anything is possible.”
