According to reports from the Telegraph, Tottenham fear that they could be without key man, Harry Kane when they make the trip to Arsenal for the first North London derby of the season after he was forced off with ligament damage after scoring the winner in their Premier League clash with Sunderland on Sunday.

Last’s season’s Golden Boot winner had a scan on his ankle on Monday which removed any worries over a fracture, however Spurs fear that he may have suffered grade two ligament damage, meaning he could be out for around two months, which would leave him out of the North London derby on November 6th.

As well as missing the historic clash, the England international would be sidelined for at least three Champions League games and Premier League fixtures against Man City and Leicester to pick the biggest.

The loss would be a bitter blow to Pochettino’s side, with the forward having scored four goals in four outings against the Gunners.

The 23-year-old will now be replaced by summer signing, Vincent Janssen, who joined from AZ Alkmaar in the last window, and is yet to get off the mark for his new side.
