Get the impression Pochettino likes him, so I think he could well be in the squad Weds. Hold my hands up, maybe Saturday is pushing it a bit though

Those going over on your ankle ones tend to need a couple weeks of rest, possibly longer if its more serious. A chance for Janssen be the main man.
At least Janssen gets to have a go at Gillingham and hopefully score a couple, before he starts any league games in place of Harry.

Les Howe
Yeah. Top scorer in his league last season. But like Kane he started his season slowly last season before becoming a goal machine. He's another young player, who to quote Poch, needs to feel the back of the net. Get the monkey off his back, and confidence up.

In slow-motion, that ankle roll looked bad. However, slow-motion makes everything look more intense. The one thing I feel gives us hope that he hasn't ruptured a ligament, is that he is not an injury-prone player. I do think, however, that it is 3 week injury. THAT would be a blessing in this case I think...great finish today, tight and composed.

POTENTIALLY BAD KANE NEWS FROM THE GUARDIAN:
Tottenham Hotspur are awaiting the results of a second scan on Harry Kane’s ankle amid fears the England striker may have sustained ligament damage during the victory against Sunderland on Sunday, an injury that could sideline him for up to two months.
Harry Kane ankle injury leaves Tottenham fearing scan result

Kane, who scored the only goal of the game at White Hart Lane, fell awkwardly and twisted the joint late on and departed the stadium on crutches and wearing a protective boot on his right foot. Mauricio Pochettino conceded post‑match that the player may have sustained ligament damage, with medical tests duly undertaken on Monday. The results of a first scan at least reassured Spurs that the 23-year-old had not broken a bone in the fall.
However, there are concerns that Kane has sustained grade two ligament damage, which would normally require six to eight weeks of rehabilitation. Should the second scan confirm as much then the striker would miss the Champions League group games against CSKA Moscow and Bayer Leverkusen – Spurs lost their opening match 2-1 against Monaco last week at Wembley – and, among the seven Premier League fixtures within the timescale, key contests against Emirates Marketing Project, Leicester City and Arsenal. The north London derby is on 6 November, towards the end of the normal recovery period for the injury.
While Spurs signed Vincent Janssen from AZ Alkmaar this summer, potentially to relieve the burden placed on Kane over the past few years, the player has yet to score in six appearances for the Premier League club, despite his prolific record in Dutch football. There would be an impact, too, on Sam Allardyce’s England national team, given Kane would miss the World Cup qualifiers against Malta and Slovenia next month, and the eagerly anticipated visit of Scotland to Wembley on 11 November. The striker was picked for the recent win in Slovakia, which kickstarted Allardyce’s tenure in charge.
Should the scan reveal only grade one damage then Tottenham would anticipate the absence of the player for closer to 10 days, a similar lay-off to that being endured by John Terry across the capital at Chelsea. That would represent good news. A grade three tear would represent a more serious scenario and a four-month rehabilitation, although Spurs are hopeful the forward has escaped that level of damage.
It remains to be seen whether Pochettino will risk starting Janssen in Wednesday’s League Cup tie against Gillingham, although the Dutchman has received backing from the captain, Hugo Lloris, to step into the breach. “We used to say that we have a competitive team and I think we are very confident in every player,” he said.
“When one player is missing, it gives an opportunity to another player to bring his skills, his energy, his qualities and his strength. This is the story of the season and that’s why we need all the players committed to the club. When the team needs you, you need to respond.”
Mousa Dembélé and Eric Dier limped out of the win on Sunday with cramp in their hamstrings. Dele Alli, who completed the game, has signed a new six-year contract at White Hart Lane. The 20-year-old signed a five-and-a-half-year deal when he joined from MK Dons in February 2015, with that now extended on improved terms through to 2022. He follows Dier, who agreed a five-year extension last week, in committing his future to the club.

We have today announced a medical partnership agreement with Aspetar, one of the world's leading specialised sports medicine and orthopaedic hospitals, giving the Club priority access to the hospital’s advanced sports medicine services and facilities in Qatar.
The agreement seeks to build on the existing informal relationship between the Club and Aspetar, and covers medical screening, research, athlete rehabilitation and orthopaedic surgery at the FIFA-accredited Medical Centre of Excellence.
The new agreement will also extend to collaboration on athlete performance assessments, nutrition, and podiatric health as per best practice international standards.
Aspetar services the needs of sports clubs and federations throughout the state of Qatar and also has a formal relationship with Paris Saint-Germain as it looks to establish an exclusive agreement with one club in every top European league.
The partnership follows the visit by Mauricio Pochettino and our Head of Medical & Sports Science Dr Shabaaz Mughal to Aspetar last May as part of an official delegation from the Club on a tour of the hospital where they learned more about the facilities, services and its pioneering sports medicine experts.
Dr Mughal said: "We are always examining ways we can enhance our players' health and performance in order to ensure they realise their full potential on the pitch and this partnership can only help us further in achieving this. Aspetar is one of the world's best high level performance centres and offers us another outlet to share knowledge and information with some of the leading researchers and practitioners around."
Aspetar’s Chief Operations Officer Ibrahim Al-Darwish said: "We are proud to be partnering with Tottenham Hotspur in providing our medical services and expertise to one of the top clubs in the English Premier League. This partnership demonstrates once again our ability to provide world-class medical care to elite athletes and reflects the international confidence of the world’s top clubs and teams in our services and proficiency.
“The partnership is one of the latest examples of our dedication to fulfilling our mission of assisting athletes to achieve their maximum performance and full potential, and our vision to be a global leader in sports medicine and exercise science by 2020.”

Qatar? Oh dear. Sad face.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_in_Qatar#Immigrant_labor_and_human_trafficking
Immigrant labor and human trafficking[edit]
Qatar is a destination for men and women from South Asia and Southeast Asia who migrate willingly, but are subsequently trafficked into involuntary servitude as domestic workers and laborers, and, to a lesser extent, commercial sexual exploitation. The most common offense was forcing workers to accept worse contract terms than those under which they were recruited. Other offenses include bonded labor, withholding of pay, restrictions on movement, arbitrary detention, and physical, mental, and sexual abuse.[41]
According to the "Trafficking in Persons" report by the U.S. State Department, men and women who are lured into Qatar by promises of high wages are often forced into underpaid labor. The report states that Qatari laws against forced labor are rarely enforced, and that labor laws often result in the detention of victims in deportation centers, pending the completion of legal proceedings. The report places Qatar at tier 3, as one of the countries that neither satisfies the minimum standards, nor demonstrates significant efforts to come into compliance.[42][43]
The government maintains that it is setting the benchmark when it comes to human rights and treatment of laborers.[44]
In common with other Arab countries of the Persian Gulf, sponsorship laws exist in Qatar. These laws have been widely described as akin to modern-day slavery.[45] The sponsorship system (kafeel or kafala) exists throughout the GCC, apart from Bahrain, and means that a worker (not a tourist) may not enter the country without having a kafeel; cannot leave without the kafeel`s permission (an exit permit must first be awarded by the sponsor, or kafeel); and the sponsor has the right to ban the employee from entering Qatar within 2–5 years of his first departure. Various governmental sponsors have recently exercised their right to prevent employees from leaving the country, effectively holding them against their will for no good reason. Some individuals after resigning have not been issued with their exit permits, denying them their basic right to leave the country. Many sponsors do not allow the transfer of one employee to another sponsor. This does not apply to special sponsorship of a Qatar Financial Center-sponsored worker, where it is encouraged and regulated that sponsorship should be uninhibited and assistance should be given to allow for such transfers of sponsorship.
Barwa, a Qatari contracting agency, is constructing a residential area for laborers known as Barwa Al Baraha (also called "Worker's City"). The project was launched after a recent scandal in Dubai's labor camps. The project aims to provide a reasonable standard of living as defined by the new Human Rights Legislation.[46] The Barwa Al Baraha will cost around $1.1 billion and will be a completely integrated city in the industrial area in Doha. Along with 4.25 square meters of living space per person, the residential project will provide parks, recreational areas, malls, and shops for laborers. Phase one of the project was set to be completed by the end of 2008, and the project itself is set to be completed by the middle of 2010.[47][needs update]
Women's rights[edit]
Women in Qatar vote and may run for public office. Qatar enfranchised women at the same time as men in connection with the May 1999 elections for a Central Municipal Council.[48][49] It was the first Arab country in the Persian Gulf to allow women the right to vote.[50] These elections—the first ever in Qatar—were deliberately held on 8 March 1999, International Women's Day.[48]

And nothing on Lamela? Ergh, he's perma-fudged isn't he.

Paul Walsh
From yesterday,s press conference
Lamela we need to be cautious with him, assess day by day but he's positive and started to run. We'll see in the next few days.
So at least he is back in the fold and hopefully Poch and the team can get him back up to speed quickly or help him overcome whatever barriers he is facing.

Given how good our defense is it's still remarkable that with Jan/Toby and Rose having all been out for large chunks of the season that we are so tight at the back. It seems that missing our left side against the Dippers was too much - even though the midfield was wet-paper strong. Let's get everyone fit and see what we can do.
its a goal
Jamie Slabber
Is it true Rose suffered a relapse with his injury and return date is now April? When is Lamela ever going to lace his boots for Spurs again?
awesome dawson
Mitchell Thomas
With Rose it wasn't a relapse it was just a case of waiting for the MRI scan.
Lamela is a mystery, looks to me like we won't see him this season. Follow him on instagram if you want updates of him drinking tea, watching tv and playing Xbox.
After the Stoke game, of more concern to me is the status of our two centre backs...

This is the main point for me, in 36 games so far this season we have only been able to play the best pairing of CB's together in 15 of those games ( and during a couple of them we lost one or the other through injurys). To still have the one of the best defensive records is amazing.
