Tottenham Hotspur team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Burnley

Tottenham Hotspur could temporarily move to within two points of the top of the Premier League table when they take on Burnley at Turf Moor on Saturday, February 23.

Mauricio Pochettino's side refuse to fall away as title outsiders and will go into the match off the back of four straight wins - both in the Premier League and across all competitions.

Champions League progress is very much in their hands after a 3-0 win over Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of their last-16 tie at Wembley, and Spurs will have a full 10 days of rest before their trip to Turf Moor.

Such a gap is expected to allow some key players the chance to return to fitness, and here Sports Mole looks at the latest injury and suspension news for the North Londoners.

Having been sidelined since January 13, England captain Kane could make his long-awaited return to action ahead of schedule against Burnley, but only if he passes a late fitness test.

Status: Out Type of injury: Hamstring Possible return date: March 2

The trip to Turf Moor will come too soon for Alli, who is not expected to return to training until late February at the earliest. The North London derby against Arsenal on March 2 is a more realistic return date for him.

Dier was expected to return for the Champions League clash against Dortmund but was instead forced to watch from the stands. The England international will be ready for the Burnley game, though.

Janssen is also sidelined with a knee injury, the severity of which has not yet been confirmed. The setback came just days after Pochettino had hinted that the Dutchman might have a future at the club after all.

Tottenham have no suspensions for this match.
