Spurs hit by injury blow for two key players with North London Derby looming

Tom Victor

Tottenham’s Europa League hopes have been dealt a blow by the news that Harry Kane and Mousa Dembele have both suffered injuries in training.

The pair have been ruled out of the last 32 return leg against Fiorentina, and Dembele could face a race against time to return for the North London Derby on March 5.

Kane has suffered a broken nose, but could be fit to return for the weekend match against Swansea City.

Spurs face a number of tricky fixtures in the coming weeks, with derbies against West Ham and Arsenal following the Swansea meeting.

If they progress against Fiorentina, with whom they drew 1-1 in the away leg, their last 16 match will come five days after the visit of Arsenal.
