“What the player felt, Harry Kane leaving a match, the way he did it, he didn’t think twice, it didn’t take him two seconds to realise the severity of the situation.
“Some opinions from the medical department before the test results. I don’t think we’re going to have good news.
“But the reason we’re here is because of the beautiful FA Cup and in relation to that we can say that no Middlesbrough for Harry Kane.”
Reacting to the news on social media, Kane tweeted: “Head up. Tough times don’t last, tough people do.”
