Huge boost for 1 in 4 Fantasy Football managers as Kane returns

Jamie Miley

Great news for Spurs fans…and for 26% of Fantasy Premier League managers.

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has revealed that Harry Kane is 100% recovered from his ankle injury and will be in the line-up for Saturday’s Premier League clash against Stoke.

The England forward came on as a late substitute during last Sunday’s 3-1 victory at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea and he came through unscathed.

Despite going three weekends without a goal, the 24-year-old is still owned by 26% of Fantasy Football managers, and they will be eager for him to get back on track here.

The Spurs striker has scored 24 goals this season in the Premier League and he will be looking to bridge the gap to Liverpool forward Mo Salah who leads the standings with 29 to his name.

Speaking at his press conference Pochettino stated that his star man is working very hard to get back playing.

“He is okay after playing nearly 20 minutes against Chelsea. This week was good, he is working hard,” said the Argentine.

Tottenham will need to win on Saturday if they want to continue their push for top four.

“We want to finish as high as possible, we are in a good position but there are still a lot of games to play… if we can finish second, it would be better than third or fourth,”

“Our focus must be 200 percent. For me it will be a tougher game than at Stamford Bridge, against Stoke,” he said.
