Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane is ‘going to play’ against Dinamo Zagreb tomorrow, according to Jose Mourinho.

The Spurs boss confirmed at his latest press conference, which was covered by Football London, that Kane was selected for tomorrow’s game.

Tottenham are 2-0 up in the tie on aggregate, but Mourinho appears to be taking no chances.

Kane caused Zagreb a great deal of problems in the first-leg, and Mourinho is likely to hope that he can have a similar impact on Thursday.

If Tottenham can establish a lead, the 27-year-old will surely be withdrawn and rested.

But Spurs are taking the Europa League seriously this term, and Mourinho is doing everything in his power to make sure his side progress.

That could be bad news for Carlos Vinicius, who looks likely to miss out again.

Vinicius had been Tottenham’s main striker in the Europa League, but as Spurs have progressed further in the competition, Kane now seems to have a key role to play in their quest for European glory.
