FA Clears Harry Kane to Face Arsenal After Cesar Azpilicueta Altercation

Harry Kane will face Arsenal in the north London derby on Saturday after the FA opted against enforcing retrospective punishment on the Tottenham Hotspur striker.

Kane was involved in an altercation with right-back Cesar Azpilicueta during Spurs' 2-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League on Wednesday. It looked as though Kane had pushed his head into Azpilicueta as the two squared up.

However, English football's governing body reviewed the case on Thursday and chose not to suspend Kane, per TalkSport. The altercation between the two was recorded in the match report from referee Andre Marriner, who deemed no further action necessary.
