Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane is on the sidelines at the moment.
Kane is on the sidelines at the moment with an ankle injury he suffered during Tottenham’s Champions League quarter-final first-leg tie against Manchester City.
Spurs boss Pochettino has suggested that the 25-year-old striker could be available for the Champions League final, should the North London outfit progress that far in Europe’s premier club competition.
Pochettino told Sky Sports when asked if Kane could be back for the Champions League final: “I hope yes. He is doing well but today I cannot guess. It can be before [June 1] that he is available, or after. That will depend on his reaction [to injury].”
The Spurs boss added: “If you said to me today [will he play], my gut [feeling] is ‘maybe’ because I know Harry Kane’s determination to work and be focused to make his recovery as soon as possible. But I am not a doctor, this is only my gut.”
Very good news for Tottenham Hotspur
Kane will miss the rest of the matches for Tottenham in the Premier League, but it is very encouraging that the England international could be back for the Champions League final.
Of course, Spurs will have to get the better of Ajax in the semi-finals, but if the 25-year-old is fit for the final, then it will certainly enhance the North London outfit’s chances of winning it.
Tottenham are third in the Premier League table at the moment with 70 points from 35 matches.
