Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho fears for Harry Kane's fitness amid thigh injury as Gareth Southgate plans to start the striker against Denmark

Tottenham fear Harry Kane will aggravate his thigh injury if England manager Gareth Southgate sticks with a plan to start his captain against Denmark.

Southgate will put himself on a collision course with Spurs boss Jose Mourinho if Kane suffers any ill-effects Wednesday night. The England boss has already risked angering the Portuguese boss by introducing Kane for the final 25 minutes of the 2-1 win over Belgium on Sunday.

Speaking after the match, Southgate tried to head off any controversy by insisting Kane was only suffering from muscle fatigue.
