Ahead of the Manchester United premier league game at Old Trafford, Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino has dropped some hints that star player Harry Kane is not likely to participate on Saturday.
Kane was taken off during the game against Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool last weekend after scoring a brace at the Wembley Stadium, and his manager told the press after the game that the Englishman was just a little ‘tired’.
He was however not part of the squad that played against West Ham United on Wednesday in the League Cup, and was even totally omitted from the matchday squad entirely.
His side lost the game surprisingly despite leading 2-0 at the break, and his manager is ready to shuffle his squad again for Saturday game against Manchester United, having rested a number of first-team stars against their London rivals.
However, the Argentine boss has refused to confirm if Harry would be available for the Old Trafford trip.
Speaking to beINSPORTS, Pochettino said it is necessary to assess the team as he was forced to rotate for ‘different reasons’.
And when asked if the England international is a concern for the red devils, he simply replied: ‘We will see.’
Harry is currently the premier league-leading goal scorer – having scored eight goals already this season, and his absence from the Man United game will be a big boost for Jose Mourinho’s side to emerge victorious after the encounter.
