Harry Kane must calm it!

Mauricio Pochettino tells Tottenham striker to be more


careful when he's tackling

Harry Kane has suffered 'significant lateral ligament' damage to his left ankle
It happened during Tottenham's Champions League win over Manchester City
Striker is expected to be sidelined for the remainder of Spurs' campaign

Harry Kane�s all-out commitment may have been the cause of his season-ending
injury, according to Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino.

Kane hobbled off with a fifth ankle problem since 2016 after a seemingly avoidable
challenge on Fabian Delph in Tottenham�s 1-0 Champions League victory over
Manchester City on Tuesday.

Pochettino conceded that the tackle was unnecessary and said: �With the experience
that he has now... in the future maybe he is going to avoid some situations like
the other day.�

The striker will see a specialist next week.

Kane has missed 21 club games since the start of 2016-17 with ankle injuries alone
and his latest setback came after a collision with Delph near the halfway line. But
the Spurs manager is also wary about tempering Kane�s physical approach.

�It was a challenge with not too much need,� said Pochettino. �But he is how he is.
He�s strong, he wants to challenge for every single ball with the opponent.
