Jose Mourinho says his injured captain Harry Kane is irreplaceable.
The England captain will be out for a minimum of 3 months after surgery to repair a ruptured tendon in his hamstring.
Speaking ahead of Spurs clash with Premier League leaders Liverpool tomorrow, Mourinho admits it's a massive blow to be without Kane for so long:
“That’s life, that’s football. Of course, bad news but we have to be positive and look to the good news.
Good news is that before the end of the month we have two new players, Lloris and Ben Davies. This is good news.
"Lloris never played a game for me, Ben played one, and very, very well in a system we were trying to develop which was only possible with him because he’s the one left-back that can play in that inside position because Danny Rose is a pure left-back, Jan Vertonghen is not a left-back and Ryan Sessegnon is learning how to be a left-back. So Ben is very important for our project. So it’s good news.
“Of course Harry is important, irreplaceable. There’s no player who can replace Hary Kane, and Moussa is playing so, so well with us. I think, since I arrived one of our best performers. It’s not a couple of weeks until they’re back.
"It’s surgery, and a long, long time. I never spoke about Lloris in my first two months here and if you allow me, I would like not to speak about Harry Kane and Moussa Sissoko until they’re back."
