Harry Kane has given Tottenham a “massive” worry after his ankle injury curse struck again.

Kane limped off at the final whistle after a clash with Manchester United defender Phil Jones left him in severe pain with his left ankle.

England captain Kane fears he may have suffered more ligament damage to the opposite ankle which he injured at Bournemouth last season in the build-up to the World Cup and also caused him a problem the previous year.

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino admits he is deeply concerned especially with South Korea striker Heung-Min Son now reporting up for South Korea for the Asia Cup tournament.

Pochettino said: “My worry is that it was a bad tackle in the last moment. It wasn't the intention of the United player but it was a bad tackle and now he has bit of a swelling on his ankle and he was limping after the game.

“We’ll see what happens with Kane. He suffered a big tackle and twisted his ankle. We need to assess him.

“We are going to lose Son for the Asia Cup and if Harry Kane suffers an injury, it is going to be massive for us.”

It leaves Pochettino dangerously short of striker options with Fernando Llorente their only fit striker ahead of a crucial run of Premier League games and the Carabao Cup semi final with Chelsea and FA Cup tie at Crystal Palace .

Incredibly, Pochettino claimed Tottenham produced one of the best performances of his four year reign at Spurs despite losing to Manchester United.

Pochettino said: “"I am so pleased and I'm proud. After four-and-a-half-years, the second half was the best performance I have seen Tottenham play.

“It was amazing and I think David de Gea made 11 saves which is unbelievable. In football, sometimes you deserve to win and don't and other times, you do not and you win. That is why we love football.

"We dominated in the first half but we didn't organised ourselves well when we lost Moussa Sissoko and that is how we conceded the goal.

"United were deeper in the second half, but to play against that system it was amazing to create 11 chances in the second half. I feel so proud and I am leaving Wembley with a good feeling.

"We conceded a counter attack in the first half but the second was the best performance I have seen. We were not clinical and sometimes you score with less opportunities but it is nothing to complain about.

“The team played unbelievable football and everyone who watched the game can feel the same as myself.”
