Harry Kane is set to make a return to competitive action after suffering a double ankle injury in January.
Kane was substituted at half time in Tottenham’s 1-3 defeat to Liverpool and subsequently missed Spurs’ 0-1 defeat at Brighton and Hove Albion on Sunday.
Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has now confirmed that the England captain could be in line for a swift return to competitive action.
“The news (about Kane) is pretty good news,” Mourinho told the club’s official website. “After Liverpool, no idea. Then the next day, we were thinking about three weeks, something like that.
“I don’t want to be super-optimistic, but Harry is optimistic, he has the experience of some injuries in his ankles and in Harry’s mind, it’s a couple of weeks, so let’s see if he’s right.”
Kane was in contention to win the third Golden Boot of his career before suffering an untimely fitness setback, with 12 goals recorded through his first 19 Premier League appearances of the season.
The 27-year-old is three behind Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah in the race for the individual prize, but has also received plenty of praise for his general team play over the past few months.
The Spurs frontman has laid on 11 assists for his team-mates in 2020-21, as his partnership with Son Heung-min in the final third has reached even greater heights than in previous years.
