Tottenham Hotspur and Burnley go head-to-head this weekend as domestic football returns.
Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has given an injury update ahead of the club’s match against Burnley this weekend, with his comments paraphrased on Spurs’ official Twitter account.
Left-back Danny Rose’s progress is due to be reviewed by a specialist this week while striker Vincent Janssen, who has a chest infection, will be assessed ahead of Saturday’s clash, with the Dutch striker improving by the day.
Striker Harry Kane has commenced early field work during the international break, but it is yet to be seen when the in-form forward will return to first-team training and latterly Premier League contention.
Tottenham have fared well without Rose, but they will not want to be without Kane for too long given his outstanding form in front of goal this season.
If Janssen recovers in time to feature against the Clarets, it will be up to him and Heung-min Son to score in the England international’s absence.
