Harry Kane insists he will not allow himself to ease up to ensure he stays fit for the World Cup.
Kane admitted he would have felt a “real sting” had Tottenham been consigned to the Europa League before he flies off to Qatar with the England squad on November 15. But Three Lions captain Kane says that should serve as a warning and no big player will even think about easing up to ensure they get to the World Cup in peak condition.
Tottenham face Liverpool on Sunday as they look to get back in the title race, while they must also play Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup and Leeds in the Premier League. There have been fears that the last few games before the World Cup would see players trying to save themselves for the tournament, but Kane says that has never entered his thinking.
