“I am worried he will miss the rest of the season.

"It doesn’t look good. If you see the action, it shows he twisted his ankle and maybe damaged the ligaments again.

“We will check in the next few days. It is so painful but what can we do? We hope it’s not a big issue and he can recover as soon as possible,'' Spurs boss Pochettino said according to UK Sun.

Totteham are battling it out for a spot in the Premier League's top four as well their European dreams and manager Mauricio Pochettino now has limited options.

In the absence of Harry Kane for their subsequent games, Son Heung-min may be forced into a more central role for Tottenham.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier.

It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
