Tottenham’s Kane cuts recovery period short, could play against Chelsea
London, March 29 (IANS) England striker Harry Kane has cut short the period of recovery from an ankle injury as Tottenham Hotspur coach Mauricio Pochettino revealed on Thursday that he could be available for the English Premier League match against Chelsea.
Tottenham announced on March 14 that Kane would stay off the field for six weeks due to a ligament injury to his right ankle sustained in a league match against Bournemouth, reported Efe.
“Every day he is improving. We need to assess him in the next few days. It’s difficult now to say yes or no. Maybe next weekend. But the most important is that we are so positive about his recovery,” said Pochettino.
The British press soon speculated about the striker’s injury and said he would not return in time for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, which kicks off on June 14.
In its first announcement of the injury, the club expected Kane not to return before April.
However, Pochettino revealed that the striker might arrive in time for Sunday’s clash at Stamford Bridge, a venue where Spurs failed to emerge victorious since 1990.
“After Bournemouth everybody believed it would be a long period out, but the resolution has been fantastic,” the coach said.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
