Antonio Conte was asked about Harry Kane ahead of Tottenham Hotspur’s clash with Manchester United tonight.

As we get closer to the World Cup, players know that one injury could rule them out of the tournament, with Kane’s England teammate Reece James one recent example.

As per Football.London, Conte said Kane wants to play every single game for Spurs despite any potential fitness risk.

Conte on Kane before United clash

Conte said: “I can tell you that Harry wants to play every game.

“A player that wants to play every game is not scared of injury or about missing the World Cup. Harry like the other players is really focused on Tottenham.

“I like to see this commitment and this behaviour from my players. For sure we are talking about an important competition with the World Cup, but at the same time I can speak about my players and I trust in my players, I trust in their commitment.

“I know that they are really focused 100 per cent for our club and for me it is enough for this.”

The 29-year-old has been on fine form for Spurs this season and will be looking to score again in a huge game in the race for the top four.

A gap is widening between the top three and the rest of the league and Spurs could cut United further adrift if they win at Old Trafford tonight.

United have been blunt in attack lately, and Spurs may look to take advantage of that before hitting them on the counter-attack.
