Kane confident of leading England at Euros
England captain Harry Kane is confident of being fit for Euro 2020 and has targeted a Tottenham return
early next month. The striker has been sidelined since New Year’s Day with a torn hamstring tendon that
required surgery. But Kane is ahead of schedule in his recovery and Spurs’ head coach Jose Mourinho has
said the 26-year-old could be fit for the final “three, four or five” matches of the season.
In an interview with ES Magazine, Kane said: “In my head, I am definitely at the Euros. Unless something
pretty drastic happens between now and then, I’ll be there. I’m still not back training with the first team,
but I’m working hard in the gym, I’m getting stronger all the time. We’re talking a few more weeks, and I’ll
be playing again. I don’t want to make a prediction for which game I might be back, but I am hoping
somewhere between the start and the middle of April.”
