Tottenham wait on scan to show full extent of Harry Kane ankle injury

Tottenham Hotspur expect to find out on Tuesday whether Harry Kane will play again this season.

Kane's right ankle was still too swollen to undergo scans on Monday but the striker will now take those tests on Tuesday, as well as advice from specialists.

Spurs hope to know the extent of the damage by Wednesday and also how his latest injury compares to the one sustained to the same ankle in September.

Kane was then forced to spend seven weeks on the sidelines before returning for a 1-1 draw against Arsenal and the same lay-off this time would see the 23-year-old again come back against the Gunners, on April 30.

There is optimism, however, that Kane was able to walk immediately after the injury occurred in Sunday's 6-0 victory over Millwall, as six months ago against Sunderland he had to be carried off on a stretcher.

If Kane can recover in six weeks, he could feature in the FA Cup semifinal against Chelsea on the weekend of April 22, which marks the start of a potentially decisive period in Tottenham's campaign.

Mauricio Pochettino's men host Arsenal in the Premier League the following weekend before a trip to West Ham and a home game against Manchester United.

The clash against United is set to be Tottenham's final fixture at White Hart Lane. They then travel to Hull for the last game of the season.

Premier League matches at the start of April against Burnley, Swansea City, Watford and Bournemouth are likely to come too soon for the forward.
