Does Spurs’ manager trust Vinícius? Can Bale step up at last? Will Son play at centre-forward? There is no perfect solution
Everybody remembers how José Mourinho reacted last January to the diagnosis of Harry Kane’s hamstring tear. It was one of the highlights of the
Tottenham Amazon documentary and saw the manager reach a hard and fast conclusion in pithy and colourful language. Three months out? Our season will be impacted beyond repair, to paraphrase Mourinho somewhat.
The first thing to say about Kane’s latest injury setback, which he suffered in Thursday night’s 3-1 home defeat against
Liverpool, is that it is surely not as bad. The centre-forward rolled both of his ankles in incidents during the first half and he played on after treatment each time.
