Tottenham are still sweating on the fitness of Harry Kane for Sunday’s Carabao Cup final, with a decision to be taken on the morning on whether to risk him in the starting line-up.
But there is growing optimism Kane that he will be able to play, despite having damaged ankle ligaments last Friday against Everton.
The England captain will no doubt be cautious after his decision to start the Champions league final in 2019, when he came back from a more serious ankle injury after seven weeks out but looked short of fitness in the game.
