Jan Vertonghen Expects Spurs Striker to Be Back to Full Before the End of the Premier League Season

Spurs defender Jan Vertonghen has told ESPN that he hopes Harry Kane will be back to full health before the end of the season, although he probably dreads having to face the striker at the World Cup.

Kane is sidelined with an ankle injury at the moment, and won't be playing Chelsea in next month's London derby. And there are also doubts regarding his prospects of featuring in this year's World Cup.

Vertonghen, who has had the displeasure of going up against the England forward in training on many an occasion, says he isn't worried over the possibility of playing a well-rested Kane at the World Cup when the Three Lions face Belgium.
