Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane to return from injury this weekend?

Kane to return from injury this weekend?

Harry Kane is reportedly in contention to play a part in Tottenham Hotspur's Premier League meeting with Burnley this weekend after making a swifter-than-expected return from injury.

The England international damaged his ankle ligaments in the 1-0 defeat to Manchester United on January 13 and was initially ruled out until early March.

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino revealed earlier this month that Kane has a small chance of being fit in time for the trip to Turf Moor on Saturday, and The Times suggests that he will be included in the matchday squad.

Kane is said to have spent a week training in the Caribbean prior to recently returning to light training and is deemed fit enough to feature against the Clarets.

In his absence, Tottenham won all four of their Premier League matches and beat Borussia Dortmund 3-0 in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie, though they crashed out of both domestic cups.

Pochettino has used a mixture of Fernando Llorente and Son Heung-min through the middle over the past five weeks.
