Tottenham do not need Harry Kane to win at Manchester United on Saturday, according to manger Mauricio Pochettino.
Kane, who has already hit 13 goals for Spurs this season, was forced off late on in last weekend's 4-1 win over Liverpool with a hamstring issue.
Now the 24-year-old will not feature against United as Tottenham look to address a recent poor record at Old Trafford to leapfrog Jose Mourinho's side in the table.
Pochettino said he was not willing to take a "risk" by involving Kane - who hit a brace against Liverpool before his late injury - with other big games on the horizon.
