Kane back in contention for Spurs as Premier League title race heats up

Tottenham striker Harry Kane will be assessed ahead of a potential return to action against Burnley on Saturday, Mauricio Pochettino has confirmed.

The England captain has been out since damaging ankle ligaments against Manchester United in January, but he returned to full training ahead of schedule this week.

Spurs boss Pochettino, facing the media on Thursday, would not confirm Kane is available to face Burnley, however, with the forward to face a late fitness test.
