Mourinho feels ‘depressed’ about Kane’s injury
Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho has said he feels “depressed” when talking about Harry Kane’s hamstring injury.
The Spurs captain has been ruled out until April after sustaining the injury in Spurs’ 1-0 defeat against Southampton on New Year’s Day.
Kane is set to have surgery on his left hamstring but Mourinho is not too optimistic about the club’s chances of signing a striker during the January transfer window.
“Harry is important and irreplaceable, no player can replace Harry Kane,” he told a news conference ahead of the Premier League clash against runaway leaders Liverpool.
“I know you [the reporters] want to speak about Harry, I don’t want to speak because if I speak too much I get a bit depressed and then you are going to say I am miserable and depressed and in a bad mood so it’s better to speak about things that make me laugh.
“The reality is that I came here two months ago, I knew the situation. I didn’t know I would lose Harry and Moussa Sissoko for so long.
“But the situation was to get the best out of the players that we have. That doesn’t change.”
