Tottenham Hotspur could reportedly receive a huge Harry Kane boost.
The Sun has reported that Tottenham Hotspur are ‘optimistic’ that Harry Kane could shrug off his ankle injury in time for the first leg with Borussia Dortmund in the last 16 of the Champions League next week.
The 25-year-old marksman was originally ruled out until early March after suffering ankle ligament damage in the defeat by Manchester United last month.
But Spurs’ medical team are ‘quietly confident’ that he could return well before that – and next week’s visit of Dortmund is a potential comeback game, according to The Sun.
The idea of him being fit for that contest was unthinkable, but if it materialises then it’s a massive boost for Tottenham.
Even with Kane, beating the German giants could be a tricky task, though.
Dortmund, who have a seven-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga, only conceded two goals in six Champions League group-stage games during the first part of the season.
If the England international is fit for that then he could also play in the Premier League double header with Chelsea, Arsenal, and the return leg in Signal Iduna Park on March 5.
