Mourinho reveals ambition for a fourth Premier League title (Sky Sports)
Harry Kane has recovered from the hamstring injury he suffered on New Year's Day and could feature if the Premier League is able to restart, Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho has said.
The Portuguese offered positive bulletins regarding the England striker, as well as French midfielder Moussa Sissoko and Dutch winger Steven Bergwijn.
'They are recovered from their injuries, so Harry Kane is not injured, Moussa Sissoko is not injured, Steven Bergwijn is not injured, but it is one thing not to be injured, it's another thing to be ready to play football,' Mourinho told Sky Sports.
'For them it is many, many, many weeks of injury and when the injuries were almost at an end, we stopped training (because of the coronavirus pandemic).
'I don't know, they don't know, we have to wait for the official and right permission for the players to train again in groups to see if they can come back to a normal competition level.
'So if we play this season, the remaining nine matches, it would be good for everyone of us, it would be good for football, it would be good for the Premier League if players of that quality can play the remaining matches.'
Kane, who had scored 17 goals in 25 matches for Spurs this season, limped out of their 1-0 loss to Southampton at St Mary's on New Year's Day with the torn hamstring.
The Spurs captain hasn't played since but did return to individual training in early March prior to the coronavirus lockdown.
Kane was one of the first players to return to the Spurs training ground in Enfield on Tuesday when it was re-opened for the team to come and complete individual running sessions while observing strict social distancing rules.
Midfielder Sissoko also hasn't appeared for Spurs since New Year's Day and underwent knee ligament surgery.
He suffered the injury during a clash with Southampton's James Ward-Prowse during that game though it didn't force Sissoko off at the time.
Subsequent scans revealed that Sissoko required an operation and the initial lay-off was estimated to be until mid-April.
£27million January signing Bergwijn suffered his ankle injury during the 1-1 draw at Burnley in March and was expected to miss the remainder of the season.
However, the delay caused by coronavirus means the Dutchman could feature again if the season resumes.
