Usually, ankle ligament damage rules a player out for 4-6 weeks and therefore Kane is likely to miss most of Tottenham’s remaining games this season.
Kane sustained the injury after a challenge from the Bournemouth goalkeeper Asmir Begovic during Sunday’s 4-1 win.
The news will come as a relief to Gareth Southgate. Harry Kane missing the World Cup would have been a disaster for England.
As for the Spurs fans, they are not happy to lose their best player for a few weeks at this stage of the season.
Pochettino’s side are currently challenging for the FA Cup and a place in the top four. Harry Kane’s absence could jeopardize their chances in both competitions.
Here are some of the best reactions from the Tottenham fans on Twitter.
Going to sleep until next season. Wake me up in August lads.

Not as bad as first thought – Haven’t got a PL game for a couple of weeks, will only miss a couple of games however does include Chelsea & City. Sure we can manage, we’re a team, not an individual & we did so last year too. COYS
