Tottenham star Harry Kane delivers huge injury update

Tottenham striker Harry Kane has given an update on his potential return from a hamstring injury.

The England captain has been out of action since picking up the problem in a game against Southampton on New Year's Day.

His torn hamstring required surgery in mid-January, and he has now passed the two-month mark of time missed for Spurs with the injury.

Spurs revealed last week that Kane has begun his on-field rehabilitation, with Jose Mourinho stating that he could be available for the last three-to-five matches of the season.

Kane has not stated exactly when he will come back, but believes it will be in around a month's time, leaving plenty of games for him to get up to speed ahead of England's Euro 2020 campaign this summer.

"In my head, I am definitely at the Euros," Kane told the Evening Standard.

"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."

Spurs have fallen to three straight defeats in all competitions in their last three matches as Kane's absence in attack begins to bite.

They face an FA Cup tie against Norwich on Wednesday night, and should they win and then progress past the quarter-finals, he could be back in contention for an FA Cup semi-final on the weekend of April 18-19.

Meanwhile, Mourinho's side face an uphill battle to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League following a 1-0 home loss against RB Leipzig, but should they overturn that defeat, the next rounds will take place on April 7-8 and April 14-15, giving Kane a potentially workable target.

In terms of other upcoming fixtures, Spurs face local rivals Arsenal on April 26 in their first derby at the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
