Englan­d captai­n is suscep­tible to ankle damage — this is his fifth such injury since 2016LONDON: Tottenham forward Harry Kane may have to consider surgery on his injured ankle, a leading surgeon has said. Kane suffered a “significant lateral ligament” injury to his left ankle during Spurs’ 1-0 Champions League win over Manchester City on Tuesday and is unlikely to play again this season. The England captain is susceptible to ankle damage — this is his fifth such injury since 2016 and the second to his left joint this year. “If he were to have surgery, the surgeon would almost certainly use an internal brace, which is a device which you put over the ligament repair and it is incredibly strong. “There is no merit in him having an extended rest, they are not sending him back too early, it’s just that he has got an unstable ankle,” Davies added.
