Tottenham Hotspur are preparing for the Premier League to restart and their first match on June 19.

Star striker Harry Kane is hoping to make just his second start of 2020 after recovering from injury.

Former Spurs star Jamie Redknapp told The Mail he met with Harry Kane after their recent training game – and offered a positive update on the England captain’s fitness.

He said: “I played golf with Harry Kane at the Centurion Club in St Albans the other day. He arrived straight from a practice match at Tottenham’s stadium.

“He’s injury-free and feeling fitter than ever. Spurs will benefit from having the Premier League’s best No 9 back, ready and raring to go.”

Redknapp is not wrong. Tottenham badly missed Kane during his absence and without him, their season began to fall apart.

So the timing of the break was ideal for Spurs as it allowed Tottenham’s injured players to recover, and the club hope to have shaken off their poor form.

Steven Bergwijn and Heung Min Son are also fit again after injury and could form a new look Tottenham front three.

Spurs will have to manage Kane carefully over the next nine Premier League games, but it is hard to see them holding him back from the first match, a home game against Manchester United.
