Jamie Carragher has revealed how Harry Kane's injuries could actually benefit the Tottenham Hotspur striker this season.
Kane starred in Spurs' crazy 3-3 draw with West Ham United on Sunday evening, scoring twice and setting up Son Heung-min for the opening goal.
However, a late comeback from the Hammers ensured the points would be shared in North London, despite a largely dominant match from Jose Mourinho's side.
For Son 's goal - which took less than a minute - Kane picked the ball up in a deep area of the pitch before unleashing the South Korean international with a fantastic lofted pass.
The winger then cut inside before smashing the ball past Lukasz Fabianski in clinical fashion to hand Mourinho 's men the advantage.
Kane then got himself a goal - nutmegging Declan Rice - before placing the ball into the bottom left-hand corner, leaving Fabianski helpless.
The England captain then headed in his second of the game after an excellent cross from new signing Sergio Reguilon.
Carragher, speaking on Sky Sports, revealed how Kane's bad injury record could actually help him this season with the arrival of back-up striker Carlos Vinicius.
“If Harry Kane is fit, he plays. Harry Kane is that good of a player that you always want him in your team," Carragher explained.
"Yes, you may have to rest him at times, but you could argue that Kane gets his rest when he’s injured, to be honest.
"He does seem to get one big injury a season, unfortunately for him. I’m just intrigued by this role he’s playing now, a centre-forward at times dropping deeper.
"I think it plays into the hands of the players he’s got around him. It reminds me of Liverpool, with (Sadio) Mane and (Mohamed) Salah playing very narrow and very wide.”
In the second-half, Gareth Bale came on for Spurs and there was an eight-minute spell where we got to see Mourinho's new-look front trio of Son, Kane and the Welshman.
