Tottenham fans were given a scare on Wednesday afternoon following reports that Harry Kane was missing from their training session at Hotspur Way due to illness. Plundering goals for fun this campaign after netting 19 in 32 games in all competitions, it was the last thing supporters needed to hear ahead of Sunday's Premier League showdown against Chelsea.
Such a key player for the Lilywhites, with his goals and assists proving crucial to their top-four aspirations, many were left fearful ahead of the weekend clash, with Spurs really struggling against the Blues in recent years. Amid those concerns over Kane heading into such an important fixture, the England captain did in fact train at their Enfield training base on Wednesday morning but he did not train in the afternoon.
The reason for this is because the Tottenham coaching staff are currently managing his workload after his recent illness. Speaking after Tottenham's 1-0 win over Fulham in January, Spurs boss Antonio Conte told the media that Kane, who equalled Jimmy Greaves' all-time goal record in the game at Craven Cottage, had actually played the game with a fever.
