Cristian Stellini has admitted that Tottenham have a decision to make over Harry Kane's place in the Spurs team vs Preston North End. After scoring the winner in Monday's 1-0 victory over Fulham despite having a fever, the England captain has continued to struggle with illness this week and hasn't trained much with the rest of his teammates at Hotspur Way.
Kane was back involved in training on Friday, thus leaving Antonio Conte with a call to make as he gets his plans in place for the trip to Deepdale. The Italian does have new signing Arnaut Danjuma available for selection, though, after the Netherlands international joined on a season-long loan deal from Villarreal on Wednesday.
"Arnaut Danjuma is available, he is a player we can use tomorrow in the game," admitted Stellini. "We have only one problem, with Harry, because he played the last game full of illness. He didn’t train during the week, he trained this morning, but he wants to come with us and be available.

"We know very well that Harry wants to play every game, so we are happy that Harry is involved in the game, but the only situation we have to take care is this."
Danjuma could take Kane's place leading the line as he has operated through the middle a number of times throughout his career.
"He has experience because he's played good Champions League last season," Stellini told football.london. "He is a player that can play like a striker or a winger. He has a lot of positions he can cover. So we are happy and we are looking forward to working with him.
"We want to discover [more about him]. It's normal at this point in the season, in January, you need time to give him all the information to play in our team. So we are happy, we want to work with him and we are looking forward to working with him."
On Danjuma's best position, he added: "It depends on the system we use. In the system we use normally he could be a number 10 or a striker. This is the way we want to work with him.
"We said many times that we need a player to change [matches]. This season we lost Lucas and we need the players to add to our rotation and it's good to have him."
