Harry Kane has yet to play for Tottenham Hotspur this season as his future rumbles on
He said: ‘He trained today and he will train tomorrow. He is better. His fitness is getting better and better. He will join the group on Friday then he will make the decision on Saturday.
‘He is better than yesterday and hopefully he will be better tomorrow. This is how all the players who are working should be. Day by day recovering and building fitness.’

But Nuno Espirito Santo admits he could recall Kane this weekend for the clash with Wolves
He is yet to play under new boss Santo, having only recently returned from a holiday in the Caribbean, and is being put through his paces while he attempts to get back to peak condition for the new season.
Despite the dogged links with Manchester City over a £150million move, Kane has revealed that he is fully focused on his sharpness, and posted a recent picture of himself training at his club, accompanied by the caption, ‘Another session in the bank’.
It was not expected that Kane would feature in the Conference League tie, which marks Spurs’ first steps in the newly-launched competition, with Espirito Santo choosing to leave him behind so he can continue working his way back.
Kane made his comeback to training earlier this week after finishing a period of isolation at the hotel at the club’s training complex, and underwent a solo session on Monday before then joining team-mates the day after.
