De Bruyne: Tottenham Very Dangerous Even Without Kane


Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne reveals Tottenham are still very dangerous even without the injured Harry Kane.
Kane who was substituted with an ankle injury during Spurs' 1-0 win over City in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie last week will not be available for this night fixture.
Source claim he is likely to miss the rest of the season after it was confirmed he suffered ligament damage to his left ankle,same thing that happened against Manchester United in January that ruled him out for just over a month.
Lucas Moura filled the goalscoring void in style on Saturday, plundering a hat-trick as Spurs beat Huddersfield Town 4-0, and De Bruyne believes Mauricio Pochettino's side will still pose a significant threat in the second leg at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday.
According to De Bruyne
"Harry Kane is a wonderful striker, but it would be disrespectful to the other guys [to suggest it will be easier]," he told reporters.
"They won against us without him when he went off last week and they have brilliant players.
"They won so many games without him before and they are still a very good team without him. Obviously, he's a really good player, but it's not going to change anything.
"It will be a great game – a good atmosphere and, hopefully, a good game. For us, it's all or nothing."
City and Tottenham meet again on Saturday in the Premier League, a day before title rivals Liverpool visit relegation-threatened Cardiff City.
