The Tottenham Hotspur hitman hasn’t quite been himself so far this season.

Kieran Trippier talks to the press at St Georges Park on May 22, 2018 in Burton-upon-Trent, England.

Tottenham and England ace Kieran Trippier spoke to reporters, ahead of the Three Lions’ clash with Spain at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, and responded when asked whether he is worried by the workload being undertaken by his teammate Harry Kane, as quoted by the Daily Mail.

The right-back and the striker are arguably two of the first names on both their club and country’s team-sheets, having established themselves as real elite performers over the past few years.

There have been question marks regarding Kane’s fitness at the start of this season, however, considering how much football he has played over the past few seasons.

Trippier is not concerned, though, and shared his belief that Kane will only get better, when speaking to reporters last night, as quoted by the Daily Mail:

“I’m not concerned, he’s first in and last out (of training). He recovers well and everybody knows Harry’s a top professional. I can’t see him slowing down, you’ve seen his work-rate in the games we’ve played this season. He’s as fit as anything.”

There will likely be no respite for Kane, with games against Spain and Switzerland on the horizon for England, before he returns to action for Tottenham with a huge clash against Liverpool on September 15th.
