Harry Kane confirms every Tottenham star has had coronavirus test ahead of group training return

Harry Kane has revealed he and the Tottenham squad have all taken coronavirus with no positive results.

The England captain, 26, is back after four months out injured and has returned to his club’s Enfield HQ with his team-mates.

And this week the Spurs squad were tested for the deadly disease.

"We had tests on Monday,” he said. “All the players and staff had tests - and everyone came back negative, which was great.

"The clubs are talking to the Premier League and trying to find a way of next week or the next couple of weeks of training in small groups of four or five. Hopefully to be tested regularly as well.

"We are taking it day-by-day, week-by-week and we are just trying to go with the flow.”

Premier League players are back in training with the government having given the go-ahead for football to resume behind closed doors.

"About a week ago we started going to the training ground.” Kane said. “We were allowed to have one on one training with one member of staff on one pitch, self-distancing from everyone.”

Kane accepts that Liverpool's 25-point lead in the table makes them worthy champions whatever becomes of the 2019/20 campaign and that the absence of their supporters from any conclusion is a necessary evil.

" Liverpool deserve to lift the title and with their fans missing it will be a strange situation," he said.

"But we've not been through a time like this in our lifetimes. Fans are a massive part of football, they make football what it is. It will be different to play without them, I have done it before in a game for England and it is not the same but I guess if we want to finish the season then we are going to have to do that."
