Tottenham Hotspur look set to be without talisman Harry Kane for the rest of the season, after he limped out of the Champions League quarter-final first leg with Manchester City.

The England captain came off worst in a challenge with Fabian Delph, and hobbled straight down the tunnel.

The early indications are that it does not look good for Kane, meaning Mauricio Pochettino will need to work out how best to replace the superstar.

Fernando Llorente is the backup striker, and Heung-min Son – scorer of the winning goal against City at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium – can also operate up top.

Some Tottenham fans have implored Pochettino to call on exciting youngster Troy Parrott.

The 17-year-old Republic of Ireland youth international was in action for Spurs’ U18s on Wednesday against Chelsea and scored brilliant two goals – one a free-kick, one a neat finish from the left, as reported on by the club’s official website.

Parrott – who has just returned from injury to play three games in five days – is highly rated within the Tottenham youth setup, and there are high hopes that he can make his mark for the first-team in the near future.

Tottenham fans react

Even though he is still very raw, some Spurs fans called for Pochettino to put his trust in Parrott less than 24 hours after Kane’s injury.
