Kane not ready to face Dortmund, confirms Pochettino

Mauricio Pochettino has said Tottenham striker Harry Kane will not be ready for next Wednesday's Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund, but revealed the striker could return ahead of schedule against Burnley.

Kane has been missing since injuring ankle ligaments against Manchester United in January and was initially expected to be out until March at the earliest.

However, the England captain is already back in training and reports had suggested Kane could be available for the first leg of the Champions League last-16 tie against Dortmund at Wembley.
