Meanwhile, “Pochettino indicated that the main focus remains on getting Kane back to the best physical condition after the injury setback“ and he remains optimistic that the striker could yet feature for the club before the season concludes, he added: “Our first interest now is to try and provide Harry with the best conditions and tools to recover as soon as possible and hope he can be fit as soon as possible and help us at the “end of the season“ and help national team to win the title they’re going to fight for in the summer.”
Kane had just recovered from a similar ankle ligament damage between January and February, and the latest setback has brought a sense of disappointment with the club. Nonetheless, they have the resources covered with Heung-min Son proving a perfect deputy for Kane last time around and the South Korean and Fernando Llorente could be tasked with the main scoring burden for the rest of the campaign. Spurs entertain Huddersfield Town at their new stadium on Saturday afternoon.
