Tottenham head coach Jose Mourinho has raised the possibility that Harry Kane could be out until next season and miss Euro 2020.

Kane underwent surgery on a hamstring injury on Saturday after suffering a ruptured tendon at Southampton on New Year’s Day and Spurs have said they expect him to be back in training some time in April.

Mourinho has been asked repeatably when exactly the England captain might return, but has not been able to be more specific.

He was again questioned ahead of Spurs’ FA Cup replay with Middlesbrough on Tuesday and his throwaway answer suggested there could be some doubt over Kane’s participation at the European Championships this summer.

“News on Harry we don’t have and if you ask me every time we come here the answer will be the same,” Mourinho said.

“We expect him to be out until, I don’t know, mid-April, end of April, May, next season I don’t know.

“I have no updates to give on Harry.”
