Kane’s Turf Moor exploits last season may convince Pochettino to rush him back

Harry Kane is back in full Tottenham training following his return from an ankle ligament injury sustained last month, according to Sky Sports.

They report that Kane was supposed to be out until March with that injury he picked up against Manchester United but his recovery has come along quicker than expected.

That apparently means he is able to train with the first team and Mauricio Pochettino says there is a chance he could be involved when Spurs take on Burnley on Saturday afternoon at Turf Moor.

Earlier this month, ahead of the game against Leicester, he told Sky Sports: “He’s so close to come back again. Maybe [for Burnley], maybe yes. It’s unbelievable. If you see him he’s nearly ready to play but we need to be realistic too.”

Kane’s return will of course be a boost to Tottenham whenever it comes, but Pochettino’s thinking may be influenced by his talisman’s outstanding performance at Turf Moor last season.

In December 2017, Kane netted a hat-trick as Spurs swept aside the Clarets – who enjoyed a hugely impressive campaign last time around and finished seventh – 3-0.

Kane clearly knows how to exploit a backline that is usually very tight, especially on its own patch, and that may be needed at the weekend because Sean Dyche’s side are enjoying something of a mini resurgence.

Tottenham’s away form is outstanding but it will be a tough assignment on Saturday and if Kane is able to play, Pochettino should give him the opportunity to blow the Clarets away again.
