Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho admits he's turning to Gareth Bale to cover for the injured Harry Kane.

Kane suffered injuries to both ankles in defeat to Liverpool on Thursday night and Mourinho admits they'll be missing their star striker for several weeks.

The manager now is banking on Bale proving his quality in Kane's absence.

“This is an important moment for Gareth," said Mourinho.

"Now he is starting to feel better and better. When a team loses a Kane-level player, other players must come to the fore. I hope Bale will help us."
