Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham Hotspur will face Burnley this weekend.

Liverpool legend Mark Lawrenson has suggested on BBC Sport that he does not think that Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino will include Harry Kane in the starting lineup against Burnley this weekend.

Tottenham will return to action on Saturday afternoon when they take on Burnley away from home at Turf Moor in the Premier League.

Kane has been on the sidelines since January 13, 2019 after suffering ankle injury, but the England international striker has returned to training.

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has told The Guardian that the 25-year-old is available for the game against Burnley.

Former Liverpool defender Lawrenson, though, thinks that Kane will not start against Burnley at Turf Moor on Saturday afternoon.

Lawrenson wrote on BBC Sport: “It is great news for Tottenham that Harry Kane is back in training, although I would be surprised if he is thrown straight back in for this game.”

Title challenge

Burnley at home will not be an easy side to win against, but Tottenham are in good form at the moment and will fancy their chances of picking up all three points at Turf Moor in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

Even having Kane on the substitutes’ bench will be a massive boost to Tottenham.
