Pochettino: Kane return is "very good news"

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Mauricio Pochettino has said that the club are "very happy" with Harry Kane's return from an ankle injury.

Kane has missed his team's last 10 fixtures but he has been declared fit to play some part in the North London derby against Arsenal on Sunday afternoon.

Spurs have struggled for goals in his absence, and Pochettino has admitted that he is delighted to have one of the club's leading players back in the squad.

The 44-year-old told reporters: "We are very happy with Harry. He had a good training session - he is fit.

"In the last few seasons, he has been very important for us and was the top scorer in the league. It is important for the club, it is very good news and good to have him back. He can help the team."

Before his injury, Kane had scored two goals in six appearances during the opening weeks of the campaign.
