That caused Kane to miss their 2-1 win at home to Southampton on Wednesday.
Tottenham’s interim boss Ryan Mason, placed in charge of their first team until the end of the season following Monday’s shock sacking of Jose Mourinho, said: “We’re not sure yet.
“He didn’t train with the team today but we’ll have more of an idea tomorrow to see if we can get him back on the pitch.
“I’m not really sure of his chances, it’s a case of taking it hour by hour now. So the days are obviously running out.
“It’s a case of seeing how he feels in the next four hours, the next six hours, and go from there.
“I can’t really answer that question until tomorrow. Everyone isn’t sure.”

Mason, at his press conference today, said: “I think it was completely different, because Harry had a very long time out injured before the Champions League final.
“Like I say, I don’t know if Harry is going to be available for training tomorrow, let alone the game on Sunday. But, if he is, then it’s a quick turnaround.
“A week without training is not a problem for someone in Harry’s condition.
“But I think we are going to have to assess it later tonight, early on tomorrow morning, and see if we can get him onto the pitch.”Harry Kane gives a goal scoring masterclass in Tottenham training More

Liverpool were big admirers of the 21-year-old Fernandez before his stellar Qatar 2022 displays.
But his performances in the Middle East have now convinced United boss Erik ten Hag that he is the right man needed to bolster his own side.
As reported earlier this week, both teams will have to shatter the Premier League’s £100million record transfer fee to snap-up his services next month.
That is due to Benfica having no desire to sell him for any less than his mammoth £105m release clause.
