LONDON (AP) – Tottenham striker Harry Kane will be sidelined until April after being advised to undergo surgery on his left hamstring, the Premier League club said Thursday.
Kane ruptured a tendon in his hamstring during a league match against Southampton on Jan. 1.
''The decision to undergo surgery is not expected to impact the timeframe that the England captain will be sidelined,'' Tottenham said in a statement, ''with the expectation that he will return to training in April.''
The latest injury to Kane leaves Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho short of options up front, with Troy Parrott the only other out-and-out striker in the squad.
