Tottenham have confirmed that striker Harry Kane will miss the club's Premier League clash with Manchester United on Saturday.
Doubts over the 24-year-old's fitness first arose on Wednesday and those were realised following a scan, which showed minor damage to the forward's left hamstring.
Spurs are unwilling to risk the Premier League's top scorer for the Old Trafford date, aware that the injury could be made worse if he were to play too soon.
Kane has been an ever present for Pochettino in both the league and Europe this season, sitting out only a couple of EFL Cup fixtures, including the 3-2 defeat against West Ham in midweek.
"We cannot take a risk for tomorrow, we'll see after for Wednesday. But tomorrow, it is impossible," manager Mauricio Pochettino confirmed during his press conference.
