Tottenham Hotspur could reportedly be without injured Harry Kane for two months after the striker suffered ankle ligament damage.

He was taken off on a stretcher yesterday, and was later seen on crutches wearing a protective boot.
The France goalkeeper said: “When one player is missing, it gives an opportunity to another player to bring his skills, his energy, his qualities and his strength”.
“But Denayer will be glad to see the back of him anyway as he gets the bus back up to Sunderland thinking “I hope I do not have to come up against players like him all the time”. We advised the referee very late on. Edwards can be a top player but we need to be patient and tell him that he has enough talent to be a great player.
Spurs also have two Champions League fixtures against Bayer Leverkusen and one against CSKA Moscow within that span, while England play Scotland in a World Cup qualifier at Wembley on 11 November.
Eric Dier and Mousa Dembele limped off in the second half against Sunderland as well but Pochettino said both were suffering from cramp, rather than anything more serious.
Terry, who was unable to play in last week’s match against Liverpool, is stepping up his rehabilitation of his left ankle, after straining the ligaments in the final minute of the game against Swansea City.
“It’s a coincidence. They will be available for the next few games”.
“It’s true that they are different, but we can play in the same way”.
“Today the passion and attitude was fantastic and I am a little bit disappointed as we created a lot of chances, but we only scored at the end and it was only 1-0”, he said after the match.
If not, there is an worldwide break right afterwards and Kane could focus on attempting to get back for another big match, the clash at home to West Ham on November 19.
Lloris added: “We can congratulate their keeper (Jordan Pickford), he was unbelievable”. Last season he was brilliant too.

“We need to be ready to try to replace him and I think that Vincent arrives in a good moment where he is ready to compete”, the Spurs boss added.
