​Swansea boss Carvalhal not expecting weakened Spurs without Kane

Swansea manager Carlos Carvalhal does not believe that losing Harry Kane will significantly weaken Tottenham.

The two sides are set to meet on Saturday in the quarter finals of the FA Cup. Swansea will be hoping for a shock result, and some believe Kane's absence gives them a better chance.

"They lose very few games, and this is a David and Goliath tie," Carvalhal is quoted as saying by Tottenham's official website.

"Last week they were losing 1-0 when Kane came off injured and they won 4-1. Of course he is a fantastic striker – I like him a lot – but the big teams can replace good players with good players.

"We are without a lot of players for this game and that makes a big difference for us, but at the big clubs like Tottenham they have substitutes for every position."
