Wantaway Tottenham striker Harry Kane has returned to group training today after returning a negative Covid-19 result following his holiday.
Kane, who is a primary target for Manchester City but valued at around £150million, returned to the UK last week but was then forced into isolation.
However, his day five test-to-release has come back negative, allowing him to take to the field once again with Spurs and gear up for the new season.

Nuno Espirito Santo will now make a decision tomorrow over whether Kane will play any part against City in their Premier League opener on Sunday.
Kane has been training individually at the club’s training complex since the weekend, having touched back down in England from the Bahamas, and a layover in Florida.
To begin working alongside his team-mates again, a negative result was required, which the frontman has now returned after taking his test on Thursday.
Initially, Kane was expected to report back to his club for pre-season tests on August 2, but arrived five days later instead as speculation continues to surround his future.

He furiously denied claims that he had refused to return, and explained that his delayed comeback was ‘planned’.
But despite this, he has made his intentions to leave this summer clear, and City boss Pep Guardiola has confirmed that the champions are keen on signing him.
Daniel Levy remains adamant that Kane will not be sold, though, and Guardiola admitted City’s pursuit is over if Spurs are unwilling to work with them on the price.
Kane may be forced to stay in north London against his wishes because of the three years remaining on his deal, which puts his club in a strong negotiating position.

He was due to hold talks with Nuno earlier this week since the new coach, who said he is keen to ‘solve all the situations’, permanently replaced Jose Mourinho.
But the in-demand ace is facing a race against time to play against City, his potential suitors, with just one session now remaining before the campaign begins for him.
After the match, it is expected that Kane’s sensational move to the Etihad will escalate once again.
As reported by Sportsmail yesterday, it is understood that the two clubs have held discussions this week over the deal.

City, who have declined to comment, value Kane at closer to £120m, a figure which would see them smash the British transfer record twice in the same summer.
An agreement may be able to be reached at that fee, provided a number of additional clauses are also included.
The landscape of the negotiations is believed to have changed after both clubs spoke about the financial aspect, raising hopes that Kane may finally get his move.
He is eager for a switch to City in order to compete for the biggest trophies, having lost in the Champions League and Carabao Cup finals while with Tottenham.
