Harry Kane has told of his intention to return to the Tottenham and England team by April.
The striker has been out of action since New Year's Day, when he tore his hamstring in the 1-0 loss to Southampton .
In an exclusive interview with the Evening Standard, Kane spoke of his ambition to return by next month.
He said: "Unless something pretty drastic happens between now and then, I’ll be there.
"I’m still not back training with the first team, but I’m working hard in the gym, I’m getting stronger all the time.
"We’re talking a few more weeks, and I’ll be playing again. I don’t want to make a prediction for which game I might be back, but I am hoping somewhere between the start and the middle of April.
There were initial fears that the 26-year-old could miss the rest of the season for Spurs and also Euro 2020, with Tottenham now five points off a Champions League place.
Since Jose Mourinho took over the side's form has been mixed, with Toby Alderweireld branding Mourinho's arrival at Tottenham "very strange".
The centre-back also added that Mauricio Pochettino's sacking was "bad news".
The Argentine was at the helm for five years - and though he won no trophies during his time, he turned Spurs into a formidable force, even guiding them to a Champions League final.
Alderweireld was speaking to Het Nieuwsblad when he said: "For me it was bad news because you are always loyal to your trainer.
"The next day another trainer suddenly comes to you. That was very strange, but that is also part of football. Then you try to make the best of it."
He added: "Pochettino was fired when I was playing a match with Belgium. I got the news when I got into the dressing room."
Spurs face off against Norwich City in the FA Cup on Wednesday night, with hopes of progressing to the quarter-finals.
