On the first day of the year, London's Tottenham not only lost to Southampton but also lost their leader Harry Kane.
The Englishman had to leave the match towards the end due to injury, and on Friday the London club confirmed that the striker would be out of action for an extended period.
It is reported that the footballer suffered a hamstring injury. The exact duration of rehabilitation is currently unknown.
Tottenham's head coach, Jose Mourinho, who has lost his main striker, does not plan to look for a replacement for him during the transfer window and hopes to cope with the players currently in the squad.
"Kane is simply irreplaceable, but we have to deal with this situation with the players we have," Mourinho said at a press conference.
This season, H. Kane has played 25 matches for Tottenham and scored 17 goals.
