Tottenham boss Pochettino 'worried' about Kane injury

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino was hit by a double injury blow along with defeat to Manchester United on Sunday.

Pochettino admitted he is "worried" about the extent of Harry Kane's ankle injury he picked up at the end of their defeat.

Moussa Sissoko was also injured on a damaging afternoon for Spurs, whose title ambitions all-but died.

"I think I am worried because we will see what happens with Harry Kane," Pochettino said.

"I think Moussa is only a small thing but we will see, we need to assess Harry Kane.

"At the end I think he suffered a big tackle and twisted his ankle and now we need to assess him over the next few days, hoping it is not a big issue."

Sissoko was forced off with a groin injury.

"No it was groin, a small thing in his groin. Let's hope it is not a big issue too," Pochettino added.
