England striker Harry Kane will have a scan today (Monday) on the ankle injury he suffered during Tottenham's 4-1 win over Bournemouth.

The 24-year-old, who has scored 24 league goals this season and is expected to lead England’s attack in the World Cup in June, was substituted 30 minutes into Sunday's match after injuring his right ankle in a collision with home keeper Asmir Begovic.

Kane was unable to carry on and hobbled off soon afterwards.

“We are concerned because still we can’t know what will happen to him,” Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino was quoted by Reuters as saying.

“We have to wait until tomorrow or after tomorrow for the scan for the reality. I hope it is not a massive problem. That is my wish.”

Kane missed a total of 10 weeks last season after injuring the same ankle on two separate occasions.

He is likely to miss England’s friendlies against the Netherlands on Mar. 23 and Italy four days later.
