Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane is on the sidelines at the moment.

Gary Lineker has shared his worry about Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane’s injury problems to Goal.com.

Kane is on the sidelines at the moment with a recurring ankle problem, and although the England international was originally scheduled to return in March, Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has suggested to Sky Sports that the 25-year-old could make an early comeback.

Tottenham legend Lineker has admitted that it is worry that Kane is suffering a recurring injury.

Lineker told Goal.com: “It is always a worry when you get a recurring injury and there is clearly a little weakness in there.

“No player wants to have an injury that keeps cropping up, but ankles are not as bad as having a recurring calf problem or a hamstring issue, as they can be hard to overcome.

“You can roll your ankle and get away with it to an extent, but the more you do it, the more you worry the weakness will become a problem.”

Boost for Tottenham Hotspur

With Tottenham challenging Liverpool and Manchester City for the Premier League title this season, if Kane returns earlier than expected, then it will be a boost to the North London outfit’s chances of winning the championship.

Kane is one of the best strikers in the Premier League, and although Spurs have done well in the absence of the England international, he is being missed.

The 25-year-old England international striker has made 21 starts and one substitute appearance in the Premier League for Spurs so far this season, scoring 14 goals and providing four assists in the process, according to WhoScored.
