Harry Kane injury history as Tottenham star faces potential ankle layoff

Harry Kane has given Tottenham another injury scare.

The England striker has incurred several ankle problems and appears to have sustained another in the Champions League quarter-final first leg against Manchester City at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Standard Sport correspondent Dan Kilpatrick secured a picture of Kane departed the mixed zone on crutches and wearing a protective book, sparking fears - shared by coach Mauricio Pochettino - that the striker's season may now be over.

Here is a look at the extent of those injuries and how Spurs coped without him...

Kane first sustained an ankle injury in a 1-0 Premier League win over Sunderland in September 2016 - where he scored the winner.

He fell awkwardly in the final few minutes and scans revealed ligament damage. He ended up missing 10 Tottenham games in total, also missing an international break and returned for a 1-1 draw at Arsenal on November 6.

Spurs had a mixed time without him, winning the first four games of his absence, including a 2-0 success over Manchester City, but then things went south as they lost two and drew four of the next six - a run of games which saw them knocked out of the EFL Cup and suffer damaging results in their Champions League group campaign.

The England striker suffered a repeat problem in the early stages of the 6-0 FA Cup win at Millwall in March 2017.

He tangled with Jake Cooper after getting a shot away and was unable to continue.

Fears were that he would be out for a similar period to his absence earlier in the same season but he only missed three Spurs games, all of which resulted in wins. He returned as a substitute against Watford in early April.

Almost one year on from his last problem, Kane went down again and it was a worrying time for both Tottenham and England fans ahead of the World Cup.

It looked serious as the striker had to limp off against Bournemouth after being caught trying to turn the ball into the net.

However, it was a quickfire recovery from Kane, who only missed one Tottenham game, along with two England matches as he returned for the away win at Chelsea.

Spurs won their only game without him, an FA Cup success at Swansea.

Another ankle problem for the England captain. He went down at the end of the 1-0 defeat by Manchester United and did not return to action until they played at Burnley nearly six weeks later - returning with a goal.

Spurs won five of their seven matches without their talisman, including a 3-0 Champions League win over Borussia Dortmund.
