Harry Kane 'Could Miss World Cup' With Ankle Injury as Spurs Prepare for Monday Scan

Tottenham and England are anxiously awaiting the results of a scan on Harry Kane's ankle on Monday, with the Spurs striker facing the prospect of missing the summer's World Cup after going off injured against Bournemouth on Sunday afternoon.

A 34th minute clash with Cherries goalkeeper Asmir Begovic forced the England star to leave the pitch, and the Guardian report that the 24-year-old was later spotted leaving the stadium on crutches with his right ankle in a protective boot.

Spurs fear that their leading man suffered damage to his ankle ligaments in the challenge - the same ankle he injured in 2016, missing two months with the resultant damage - and are waiting for the striker to undergo scans on Monday to reveal the extent of the injury.
