Harry Kane: Tottenham striker 'in a good place' with recovery

Harry Kane holds his hamstring as he walks off injured against Southampton — Harry Kane, right, is recovering after having surgery on a hamstring injury

Tottenham striker Harry Kane says he is likely to be back to full fitness once the Premier League season resumes.

It was previously suggested the England captain was ahead of schedule in his recovery from surgery on a hamstring injury he suffered on 1 January.

Football in the UK is suspended until at least 30 April because of the coronavirus pandemic, while Euro 2020 has been postponed for a year.

"I'm not too far away," Kane, 26, told the Spurs website.

"I'd normally hope to be back with the team in two or three weeks' time."

Kane had scored 17 goals for Tottenham this season before being injured during the 1-0 loss at Southampton.

Jose Mourinho's side, who also lost forward Son Heung-min to injury, have since fallen from sixth to eighth in the table, and are four points behind fifth-place Manchester United.

Kane added: "I'm at a good stage, pretty much doing everything. Now it's about building up my fitness. So from my personal point of view, I'm in a good place."

This is the news we've all been waiting for since Covid-19 began. Thank goodness we know now.

Will be interesting when the league does restart, you could see almost full strength teams across the league for the last 9 games.

Hasn't he heard of Social Distancing ?

Kane always seems to be back sooner than expected. This is a good quality.

However, he seems to have one/two mid-long term injuries per season and i cant help but think its because he rushes back to fast.

With no Euros to worry about (no football at all come to think of it) he should take the opportunity to properly recover and be 100% fit

All this talk about social distancing.

Spur’s back four have been practising it all season!

What Premier League season?
Everything isn't going to be normal again in a couple of weeks.
You underestimate how complacent people are, and the risks they will take while spreading the virus.
You underestimate the incompetence of our government. 2 metres apart while flights go in and out of our airports.
You underestimate this virus.
It will be a long time before things are back to 'normal'.

A message for fans: [me included], for those of you that are ignoring the message to 'STAY @ HOME', firstly, check out Boris's speech & secondly, the longer they'll be no sport to observe. So for the good of one another please comply! George x

Give the guy a break. The spurs media team asking him how he is doing. Not his fault the bbc picks it up. Yes there are more important things but frankly anything that takes my mind off the current situation for a second or two is fine by me. If you don’t like sport, don’t read the sports pages

Always comes back from injury far too soon and is a complete liability for the team e.g champions league final

Going off topic, but well done pep guardiola donating 1million euros to the fight against coronavirus a very generous act indeed!!

Slighty off point, but still Spurs related. It's really nice to see someone like Jose Mourinho volunteering his services & time to help the mot vulerable by helping to pack food parcels in Enfield today. Good on you Jose. If ANYONE who can do their bit DOES it will help immensely.

Everyone moaning about the BBC covering Sport. What do you want? 24 hour Coronavirus? Good luck with your recovery Harry. The continuation of the football season is at least something to look forward to when this is all over.

Anyone complaining that ' far more important things to worry about' might want to stop visiting football websites.

Lovely. What about Sonny?

We need them both to help avoid relegation.

Is anyone remotely interested in Harry's recovery from injury at the moment

Honestly, in light of the circumstances, I don't really think anyone could give two hoots about Harry Kane and his recovery.

Wow - still small minded children who can’t think of anything positive to post when our nation is in a crisis taking lives !

Some people have a lot in common with a virus !

For me as a Spurs fan - I don’t care if you are an ars fan or chels fan or wham fan . .
Hope you and your loved ones and families all stay safe 👍

No thread elsewhere so just want to say good on you Pep Guardiola for donating the 1m for the coronavirus problems in Spain. Not a City supporter and I know these guys at the top are dripping money but still a good thing to do. Stay safe everyone.
