Jose Mourinho explains Harry Kane’s absence

Jose Mourinho reassures Kane will be available for Sunday’s clash with West Ham United.

Harry Kane was unavailable in Spurs’ 4-1 win against Wolfsberger on Thursday night.

The Spurs captain returned from an ankle injury two weeks ago but Mourinho insists there are no fresh injury concerns.

“I believe so, but experienced guy that had injuries in the past, he knows his body better than anyone,” Mourinho told BT Sport.

“He knows that I want him to play every minute of every game, so it’s never a question of a choice.

“I wanted to come here with the best team and the players that could give us more opportunities to win the game and get a good result, but he made the decision based on his feelings.

“His feelings were that to play this game could be a risk with the accumulation of minutes and the accumulation of minutes after the injury that he had.

“Of course myself and the medical department, we agreed with him in giving him this opportunity to take care of his condition, but I believe on Sunday he will be OK and ready.”
