Harry Kane has been ruled out of Tottenham Hotspur's Europa League tie with Fiorentina tomorrow night after suffering a broken nose.
The striker was elbowed in the nose during Spurs' FA Cup defeat to Crystal Palace last weekend but played on despite the injury.
Scans later confirmed that Kane had broken his nose and, despite medical staff casting a protective mask, manager Mauricio Pochettino has decided not to risk him in the second-leg tie with the Serie A side.
The move means that Kane is likely to be available for a busy spell of three Premier League fixtures in the space of seven days, starting this Sunday with Swansea City.
Last week's first leg with Fiorentina ended in a 1-1 draw at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.
