Mauricio Pochettino 'Optimistic' Harry Kane Will Play in Champions League Final

Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino said he is hopeful Harry Kane will be able to feature in the UEFA Champions League final as continues to recover from an ankle injury.

Kane has been out of action since he suffered ligament damage on April 4, while Spurs will face Liverpool in the final on June 1.

Per the Daily Mail's Adrian Kajumba, Pochettino said on Thursday:

"He's training and has entered the final stage of his recovery.

"We're hoping he'll be able to give us a hand—either from the start, from the bench or if not, then by giving us moral support in the dressing room—but we are optimistic that he'll be able to help us on the pitch.
