London: Harry Kane’s creaky ankle ligaments have put a cloud over Tottenham’s Hotspur’s run-in to the Premier League season but manager Mauricio Pochettino says his side are now better-equipped to cope with his absence after struggling when he was out earlier in the campaign.
“We are not worried, we are in good condition.” the Argentine, whose second-placed side host his former club Southampton on Sunday, told reporters on Friday.
“We hope it will be different. I think the team now is completely different, that was in September.”
Early indications are that Kane’s injury is less severe than the previous one, but Pochettino is cautious about setting return dates, even if he said Kane was talking about being back soon after next week’s international break.
“We hope that he will be back as soon as possible. Harry wants to play tomorrow!”
