Nuno Espirito Santo is unsure whether he will be able to call on Harry Kane when Tottenham face the former side of their new coach Wolves on Sunday.
Spurs traveled to Portugal on Wednesday ahead of a Europa League qualifier against Pacos de Ferreira.
Kane, who would still want to leave the club and join Manchester City, was not included in the travel group, although Spurs said this was due to the England captain working to improve his physical condition on the pitch. ‘coaching.
The 28-year-old, who only returned to training last Friday, was not involved at all as Spurs won their season opener against City on Sunday.
Wolves, the team Nuno left at the end of last season, are next to play for Tottenham in the Premier League, although Kane’s availability is still unclear.
“I can’t answer that. I can answer that he’s getting better and better, getting better and joining the group on Friday. Then we’ll see,” Nuno said at a conference. Press.
“He is better than yesterday and I hope he will be better tomorrow. This is how all players should work: improve and work on their physical condition.”
When asked if he was in contact with Kane, Nuno replied, “We talk to all the players on a daily basis. It’s normal that we all talk to them.”
Dele Alli and Steven Bergwijn, who both started against City, have not traveled either, while club record-signing Tanguy Ndombele and Serge Aurier have not been included in the squad.
“It’s important that all of our players are competitive,” Nuno added. “For tomorrow [Thursday], players who started on Sunday will not be involved. “
Reports emerged on Tuesday suggesting that City’s previous offer for Kane – which was said to have been close to £ 100million – was actually closer to £ 125million, although it was rejected by Tottenham.
Kane is reportedly frustrated with the club, although he doesn’t want to push any further for a move. It is expected that City will place another bid in the coming days.
Ben Davies also attended the pre-game press conference, and the full-back said the team have yet to discuss their future with Kane.
“He’s one of the best strikers in the world. We really want him. Having him in the squad is definitely better than not,” Davies said.
“It’s probably a blessing when he can argue with us, not about his future. There hasn’t been any real talk about what’s going on.”
