Tottenham captain, Hugo Lloris reveals Tottenham’s players are hoping that their star striker, Harry Kane recovers soon from injury. The Goalkeeper, also persists that the White Hart Lane outfit can play good football without their star footballer.
English striker, Kane twisted his ankle after scoring the only goal in a 1-0 win over Sunderland this Sunday and was taken from the stadium on a stretcher during the last moments of the game. The striker left the stadium on crutches, also wearing a protective boot on his right foot.
The striker will undertake medical tests on Monday, and any major injury will be a huge setback for Mauricio Pochettino who will look towards new signing Vincent Janssen to replace Kane.
“We just hope it is not too bad,” the French goalkeeper, Lloris said. “It is true that, if you look at the images, we can be a bit worried, but all the medical staff are going to try to bring him back as quick as possible.
“We have a competitive team and are fully confident in every player. When one player is missing, it gives an opportunity to another player to bring his skills, energy and quality.
“This is the story of the season and that’s why we need all the players involved to be committed to the club because when the manager needs you, you need to respond well.”
The Englishman, was one of the three Spurs’ player to leave the field against Sunderland due to injury, following Eric Dier and Mousa Dembele’s out with a hamstring problem.
Kane, Dembele and Dier were key part of Mauricio Pochettino’s setup last season and they were involved in the Euro 2016, with Dembele representing Belgium while Kane and Dier represented England.
French goalkeeper, Lloris endured a hamstring injury in August after representing France in all of their games in their Euro 2016 campaign.
“Of course we have a lot of players involved (at the Euros) at Tottenham, but it’s the same case at some other teams. I think the medical staff will try their best,” the Frenchman spoke.
“We all enjoy the way we work, but last season was a very, very tough season and very long, and you need time to recover that.
“But in football you don’t have time because the new season is starting and you need to be ready to help your team and ready to compete.”
Kane was an integral part of the White Hart Lane outfit’s title hopes last season finishing as the top scorer in the Premier League with 22 goals. The striker’s injury was a big blow for Spurs in an otherwise brilliant game at the White Hart Lane against Sunderland, which sends them to third in the Premier League table.
