HARRY KANE could be back playing by mid-April in a huge boost to Tottenham and England, according to reports.
The Spurs striker, 26, had surgery on his hamstring last weekend and there are fears he could not return to the field again this season.

But a sports medicine specialist is more optimistic – insisting that Kane can potentially start light training in nine weeks.
Professor Fares Haddad performed the op at the Princess Grace Hospital in London and expert Michael Davison lavished praise on the surgeon.
Isokinetic Medical Group’s head of international told the Telegraph: “He firstly chose one of the best surgeons in the world for this particularly operation.
“No-one else in Europe does more of these operations that Fares Haddad.
“Of course there is always a small risk of post-op complications, and the first four weeks can be quite tiresome in the brace but thereafter it should be a relatively straightforward rehab process moving through the standard phases and utilising the gym and pool.
“I would expect him to be able to return to pitch based work around 10 to 12 weeks (after the operation), and be available for selection by 14 weeks post operative.”
Jose Mourinho and Gareth Southgate will both be monitoring Kane’s progress closely as the striker is a key man for club and country.
Kane won the Golden Boot at the 2018 World Cup and is desperate to be fully fit for England’s Euro 2020 campaign.
