Spurs boss Jose Mourinho feared the striker might not play again this season.

But SunSport understands talisman Kane’s recovery is going better than expected and he could be back playing in just SIX WEEKS.
That would be good news for Mourinho and England boss Gareth Southgate, who was worried his captain might not be fit to lead them out at Euro 2020 this summer.
Kane has not played since rupturing a tendon in his left hamstring in Spurs’ 1-0 Prem defeat at Southampton on New Year’s Day.
He needed an operation and the North Londoners said they did not expect him to return to training until at least mid-April.
Mourinho was far more pessimistic — claiming Kane might not play again until next season.
Although he has since changed his tune and said his key man could be back by the start of May.
But it appears Kane could now return even sooner to boost Spurs’ flagging top-four hopes.
If he is fit following the international break at the end of March, Kane could feature in their final seven Prem matches — plus any FA Cup or Champions League fixtures.
It would also mean he would be match fit by the time England kick off their Euros against Croatia at Wembley on June 14.
Kane was walking freely when he presented Jimmy Greaves’ family with a gift before Spurs’ Champions League last-16, first leg defeat at home to RB Leipzig last Wednesday.
Sources close to Kane say he is eager to start playing again and fancies being ready even sooner.
But Spurs are unwilling to rush him back.
The club are confident Moussa Sissoko and Son Heung-min will also be back playing before the end of this campaign.
