Spurs fans must be hating 2020 already.They travelled to Southampton on Wednesday afternoon and lost 1-0 thanks to a brilliant Danny Ings goal.But Jose Mourinho will be worried about Harry Kane's fitness just as much as his side's performance.Late in the second half, Harry Kane converted from a free-kick but the assistant referee flagged for offside. As always, VAR checked it and replays confirmed Kane was just offside.Meanwhile, Kane was limping away holding his hamstring.

He immediately called to the bench and he knew there was no way he could continue. Kane limped gingerly straight down the tunnel and looked in a lot of pain.

Imagine having a goal disallowed and pull your hamstring in the same moment.

Spurs’ next league fixture? Liverpool in just ten days time.

Mourinho's side are now six points behind Chelsea, who occupy fourth place. But if Manchester United beat Arsenal in the late kick-off, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team would be four points ahead of Spurs.

Kane's injury will no doubt spark a conversation about a proper winter break in the Premier League. 

Players are expected to play three intense matches in a short space of time and there have been numerous muscle injuries over this period.

Is it really in the counties' best interests for the national team captain and star man to now, potentially, be injured for a few months ahead of Euro 2020?
