Tottenham Hotspurs has confirmed that Harry Kane has suffered a tear in his left hamstring.

The Spurs captain limped out of the 1-0 defeat at Southampton on New Year’s Day and will miss Sunday’s FA Cup third-round fixture against Middlesbrough.

“Following assessment today (Friday), we can confirm that Harry Kane suffered a tear in his left hamstring during our New Year's Day fixture against Southampton,” the statement revealed.

“Our medical staff will continue to review the injury with treatment ongoing,” it added.

Speaking earlier on Friday, Mourinho said: "If you ask me just my feeling, good news or bad news, I am more bad news than good news, what the player felt, Harry Kane leaving a match the way he did.

"He didn't think twice, didn't take him two seconds to realise the severity of the situation."

Mourinho said it is "too soon" for 17-year-old Troy Parrott to fill Kane's boots, but that he is "not thinking about the [transfer] market".

"I think he's irreplaceable," said Mourinho. "But we have to try solutions in relation to the players we have.

"I come to work with the players that are available."
