Harry Kane should have apologised for causing me ankle ligament damage, claims Florian Lejeune: 'I was angry... it was a very difficult time for me'

Newcastle defender Florian Lejeune says he was angry that Tottenham striker Harry Kane did not apologise for the challenge which left him with ligament damage.

The £8.7million signing from Eibar was just half an hour into his debut on the opening day of the season when he twisted his ankle following Kane's reckless lunge.

The injury kept Lejeune sidelined for more than two months and he has only just returned to the starting line-up.
