Harry Kane may be facing a significant spell on the sidelines after sustaining an injury blow against Manchester United on Sunday.
The England captain left the pitch gingerly at full-time of the 1-0 defeat after a heavy tackle from Phil Jones in the closing stages of the encounter.
And the Daily Mirror claim that the striker fears that he has sustained ligament damage.
No free-kick was awarded by referee Mike Dean, but Kane was attended to by the club’s medical staff, and left the pitch in great discomfort.

The injury comes at the worst possible time for Spurs, who face the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final against Chelsea in just 10 days.
Son-Heung Min would be the usual deputy, but he is away at the Asia Cup with South Korea, and that leaves three potential alternatives.
Fernando Llorente is the only fit out-and-out striker in the squad, but he has not played over 10 minutes in the Premier League this season, and has yet to score.
Vincent Janssen, too, is working his way back to fitness but Mauricio Pochettino brutally admitted on Sunday that he “is not in my plans”.
Dele Alli, thus, may well end up being a surprising saviour. The attacking midfielder has the ability to win games both from deep and in an advanced role, and has already scored six times in all competitions.
Who do you think should start up front if Kane is ruled out? Have your say below!
