Jose Mourinho has seen his fears come true as Tottenham Hotspur have officially announced that Harry Kane will be unavailable until April. Krzysztof Piatek from AC Milan will be brought in to replace Kane as Spurs waste no time on restrategizing their season.
Harry Kane was injured during Spurs New Year’s game against Southampton. The club were aware that injury was serious but it was only on Thursday that the full magnitude of the injury, as well as the length of recovery time required, was made public.
The club issued the following statement:
“Following ongoing assessment by our medical staff over the past week, we can confirm that Harry Kane will undergo surgery to repair a ruptured tendon in his left hamstring.”
“The striker suffered the injury during our Premier League fixture against Southampton last week and specialists have advised surgery after further review of the injury.”

This means that Jose Mourinho will have to manage without Harry Kane for a while.
Tottenham Spurs who are still chasing the Champions League title, as well as a top 4 finish in the Premier League, will somehow now have to pull those feats off without their talisman Harry Kane.
Kane will miss the following crucial matches between now and April:
January 11 -Tottenham vs Liverpool                                  February 2 – Tottenham vs Manchester City
February 19:Tottenham vs RB Leipzig                                    February 22: Chelsea vs Tottenham                                    March 10: Tottenham vs RB Leipzig                                     March 14: Tottenham vs Manchester United
Spurs will pay £23.8million initially for the AC Milan striker and then a further £4.2million in add-ons to follow according to The Sun.
Jose Mourinho is said to be bringing Krzysztof Piatek on a three and a half year contract.
Piatek has had a fallout with Stefano Piolo who is in charge of AC Milan. As a result, both are happy to part ways with Milan just wanting to recover as much of the €35million they paid Genoa for the Polish striker in 2019.
Krzysztof Piatek is expected to undergo a medical and sign his contract with Spurs all within the next 48hrs.
