LONDON -- Mauricio Pochettino says it is "crazy" to question Harry Kane's importance to Tottenham, claiming the striker is as influential for the club as Lionel Messi at Barcelona.
Kane, 23, will return to the squad for Saturday's Premier League match against Watford after a month injured with ankle ligament damage, but Pochettino says he is yet to decide if he will start the game.
Since he limped off against Millwall on March 12, Spurs have won all four matches and scored 13 goals -- five of which have come from Kane's replacement Son Heung-Min.
