Hoddle urges Spurs not to rush Kane return

Tottenham hero Glenn Hoddle says Harry Kane shouldn’t rush back from his hamstring injury.

Kane has been out of action since New Year’s Day when he ruptured a tendon in his left hamstring at Southampton.

The striker had surgery to reattach the tendon to the bone and it is thought he could return to training in April, with a view to being fit for the final few games of the season in May, and then be ready to lead England at Euro 2020 in June.

But Hoddle says: “It’s very difficult for me to judge from outside the medical side of things, but all I would say is you’ve got to really err on safety first.

“When you do something like that, where it (the tendon) has come off the bone then you’ve got to err on the side of safety and if you think you’re ready, give yourself an extra month.

“That’s what I would say because he’s got a wonderful career still ahead of him and he doesn’t want that (injury) to keep going, to have it from now to the end of his career recurring all the time. I think that’s really what he has to sort out in his mind.”
