Pochettino confirmed Kane's injury is not considered serious and he
could be fit in time face Real Madrid in the Champions League at Wembley
on Wednesday.
When asked about Kane's availability, the Spurs boss told reporters:
"No, for tomorrow we cannot take a risk. It's a minor injury, very
small, but we cannot take a risk for tomorrow.
"We will see after for Wednesday and Real Madrid, but for tomorrow, it's impossible.
"Always
you want all players available, but it is a problem. Play more or play
less? Because it is most important that they are all available and fit."

Kane's absence is a blow for Spurs as he had been in outstanding form
for club and country, with 17 goals in his last 16 appearances.
Spaniard Fernando Llorente, who started during Spurs' 1-1 draw with Real at the Bernabeu last week, is likely to be asked to lead the line at Old Trafford.
