Forget the so-called 'Harry Kane team' tag - Tottenham are better equipped than ever to cope without their star, writes Danny Murphy

Tottenham are better equipped than they have ever been to deal with the absence of Harry Kane. Of course his injury is setback for Spurs, but it is not as much of a blow as it was in previous seasons and they have got enough to stay in the Premier League top four without him.

Heung-min Son is having his best season since he moved to England three years ago and Mauricio Pochettino has got options he did not have in the past.

Erik Lamela is back, Christian Eriksen is playing like he is, there is Dele Alli, and Lucas Moura is now in the squad. Watching them play at Bournemouth after Kane went off last Sunday, they should be fine.

It makes sense for Son to play through the middle instead of Kane. I like Fernando Llorente but Son is flying high, in form and scoring goals. Your striker needs to be someone who is a threat in front of goal and his record at the moment is good.

If Kane is out for six weeks, from England’s point of view that is dangerous amount of time to miss before the World Cup. Three or four weeks out is about as far as you can go without losing a lot of fitness and sharpness. When it is five or six weeks, it is hard.

You then need another couple of weeks to get back up to the level you were at. The way Kane has been playing and how sharp he has looked is based on playing lots of matches.

Gareth Southgate could see it as a little breather before the World Cup and hope he can come back mentality and physically refreshed.

But the biggest concern for England is whether he is going to be able to play enough games to get his match sharpness back.

However, I do not think it is too much of a worry for Kane that he has a history of ankle injuries because he is the type of lad who looks after himself to keep strong.

In an ideal world you would not want a recurring injury, but Sergio Aguero has injury problems and Alan Shearer missed chunks of seasons as well. I do not think it is a big concern.

As for the FA Cup quarter-final tomorrow, Swansea have done well at home under Carlos Carvalhal since he took over in December, but Tottenham will refocus on the Cup after they were knocked out of the Champions League by Juventus last week.

This is Spurs’ chance for silverware this season and the disappointment of going out of Europe will give them that little bit more for this game.
