A two-month absence would see Kane miss a string of big Premier League games, including clashes against Manchester City, Leicester City and Arsenal, while the match away at Chelsea on 26 November would also probably be in doubt.
The England striker, 23, was pictured on social media leaving the ground on crutches and with his right foot in a protective boot.
Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino described it as a “tough twist of his ankle” immediately after the game, with the club waiting for scans on Monday to reveal the extent of the problem. I am happy for him.

“We are a new back four and we’re just getting to know each other still”.
