Tottenham have been handed a potential huge injury blow ahead of their Carabao Cup final against Manchester City after Harry Kane picked up an injury against Everton.
The striker walked off the pitch at Goodison Park after colliding with Toffees' attacker Richarlison while defending an Everton corner in stoppage time of their 2-2 draw in the Premier League.
Kane was seen holding his right ankle while squatted on the floor before being substituted in a moment that will leave Spurs fans worried ahead of next weekend's final.
Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho Sky Sports: 'It is too early to say,' when asked about the extent of the striker's injury.
'For him to leave the pitch with a couple minutes to go is because he felt something. Let me be optimistic and believe that he has time to recover. Let’s see.
'Let me be optimistic and believe it is nothing serious. It is obvious he is very important for us, I cannot say much. I cannot speculate.'
Spurs defender Eric Dier revealed that he was left worried after watching their talisman leave the pitch during stoppage time.
'Yeah obviously it is always a worry when you see him limping because he doesn’t fall over easily.
'He takes a lot of knocks and gets on with it but it is obviously early days to say how bad it is.
'He is a tough boy, he will do what he can to be ready.'
