Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane is set to take his turn on the bench during a packed fixture schedule next month, according to Football.London. 

Kane has got off to a brilliant start to the season for Spurs, having scored six goals in seven Premier League games.

The ‘incredible’ striker is probably the first name on the team sheet for Conte and has been a mainstay on the Tottenham side under the Italian.

But with a busy schedule around the corner, Kane could be set to sit at least one match out for the in-form Richarlison.

Kane set to take turn on bench

Football.London reports that over the next six weeks, Kane will take his turn on the bench now Conte has Richarlison as an option. 

Spurs will play 13 matches before the World Cup begins in November and the Brazilian has shown he can fill the role.

Richarlison filled in for Dominic Calvert-Lewin at Everton last season while the English striker was injured. 

The former Toffees striker has made a big impact since making the switch to Spurs and has forced his way into the starting eleven.

Both Dejan Kulusevski and most recently Heung-Min Son have made way for the 25-year-old in recent games.

And it seems that it will soon be Kane’s turn to sit a game out as Conte aims to manage a packed fixture schedule.

Spurs return to action this Saturday in a big clash against their bitter rivals Arsenal.

It seems highly unlikely that Kane will sit out a north London derby but there will be opportunities for him to rest over the coming weeks.

Conte will be delighted to have a quality option from the bench in Richarlison and it will allow the Italian to rotate his front-three and avoid players burning out.
