Mauricio Pochettino Says Harry Kane Is 'Nearly Ready' to Make Tottenham Return

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino said on Friday that captain Harry Kane is close to a return to action after an ankle injury.

The striker has been sidelined since damaging ankle ligaments against Manchester United in January, but Pochettino has offered an optimistic update on his progress, per Dan Kilpatrick at the Evening Standard.

"We need to stop him every day because he wants to be ahead of his recovery and he's very optimistic and determined to play as soon as possible.

"It's unbelievable but he's doing well, if you see him he's nearly ready to play but we need to be realistic too and of course in between all the areas to take the best decision.
