The Tottenham Hotspur striker is closing in on a return from injury.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino spoke to reporters yesterday, ahead of his side’s trip to Burnley tomorrow, and praised Harry Kane for the manner in which he has gone about his recovery from injury over the past month or so, as quoted by Football.London.
The 25-year-old has been out of action for Spurs since January 13th, after suffering ankle ligament damage against Manchester United at Wembley, and Poch will be desperate to have him back and available for selection.
During Kane’s absence, Tottenham have actually managed to remain in contention to win both the Premier League and the Champions League – a quite incredibly feat considering the fact that Dele Alli has been out injured as well.
Pochettino addressed the media yesterday, and described the England international hitman as an ‘animal’, praising his ability to recover quickly from what was a serious injury, as quoted by Football.London:
“No, he’s not ahead of schedule but everyone knows that Harry is an animal, he wants to be ready as soon as possible. He made everything to try to recover and of course the injury that he suffered is tough to recover from. We’re so happy that in the last ten days he was fantastic, back in training again, and he can be available again.”
Tottenham travel to Burnley tomorrow knowing that nothing less than a win will do, if they want to remain in touch with Manchester City and Liverpool above them in the Premier League table.
And having Kane back and involved with the first-team squad will be a monumental boost for Spurs.
