Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho revealed Harry Kane did not want to risk playing in his side's Europa League last-32 first-leg tie with Wolfsberger.
The England captain has recently returned from an ankle injury but despite Mourinho wanting him to travel to Budapest and be part of the squad, he opted to stay in London in order to rest.
Spurs did just fine without him as goals from Son Heung-min, Gareth Bale, Lucas Moura and Carlos Vinicius earned a 4-1 win as they put one foot in the last-16.

Mourinho said Kane was concerned after his recent injury - which he sustained against Liverpool last month - and a hectic schedule, but that his top scorer should be back involved against West Ham on Sunday.
