This morning’s Metro sees the free rag up to it’s usual standard, with some poor sap who isn’t prepared to put his actual name to a piece heralding the ned of Spurs’ season.
What grates – beyond the fact that a scan has even yet take place at time of writing – is that the the piece goes on to allege that Kane has an ongoing ankle problem.
‘Kane has missed 16 Spurs games due to ankle problems since 2016 and his potential absence would be exacerbated by Son’s departure for the Asian Cup.’
Er… 16?
I count 6 (six) occasions.
The real issue here is that the truth is a bit dull. All twisted or swollen ankles need for the swelling to go down before providing useful x rays.
Then, the routine is rest, ice, inactivity and usually the joints heals itself.
Only if there has has been a violent tearing of the tissue would there be a genuine cause for concern – and judging by Harry departure from the pitch at Wembley on Sunday, that seems unlikely.
Spurs have coped just fine without Kane and despite the absence of Son, there’s little evidence to suggest this brief lay-off will be any different.
