Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho said he would get "depressed" if he wallowed in the news that Harry Kane is to be missing for at least three months.
The Spurs striker has undergone surgery on a torn hamstring that will see him miss the majority of the remainder of the season at club level and in a race to be match fit to lead England at Euro 2020.
"If I speak too much about Harry, I get a bit depressed and then you are going to say he is miserable and in a bad mood," said Mourinho, ahead of Premier League leaders Liverpool's visit to north London on Saturday.
"Harry is irreplaceable. You know that we cannot play like we normally play when Harry Kane is in the team. We cannot do it the same way as we do with Harry."
"But if we don't find the right opportunity or the right solution we are going to wait until summer to make decision for the evolution of the team."
