Kane suffered an ankle injury in Spurs’ 1-0 victory over Manchester City in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final

When youre injured for that period of time, having not had a game or that much training, I know the lads are a lot fitter now, but hes bound to be a touch rusty.Tottenham fans will give me some stick, but Im only thinking from my professional point of view as a manager.But it depends on how Pochettino sees him and how his fitness is.

Alan: If Kane declares himself fit, would you put him in? Sam: No… he'd be a great sub. Alan: Even if hes fit? Sam: Having not had a game or training hed be rusty.
