Tottenham Hotspurs manager Jose Mourinho has confirmed that Harry Kane, Son Heung-Min and Steven Bergwijn have recovered from injuries and will be available for selection once the Premier League resumes.
Before the Premier League was suspended due to coronavirus pandemic, Spurs found themselves struggling with injuries to key members of their squad leading to poor results.
Spurs were on a six-game winless run when football activities were suspended.
Kane suffered a ruptured hamstring tendon at the start of January and missed 15 games while Son fractured his arm in February and missed 6 games.
“I cannot say in this moment they are ready to play because one thing is to recover from an injury, and another is to be ready to play football,’’Mourinho told Sky Sports.
“In Harry’s case, I think for about five months he hasn’t played, but all of them are not injured any more. They are training, and training is what it is at the moment, training has a lot of limitations. We cannot compete, we cannot do one versus one, we have to keep a certain distance, we cannot compete.
“For us, of course, it is a great feeling, because we finished the period with that defeat at Leipzig, where we were really, really in trouble to have 11 players, including attacking players, and in this moment (Erik) Lamela, Son, Dele (Alli), Harry Kane, Bergwijn, everybody is fit now.”
A restart date for the Premier League has not yet been decided. Premier League clubs voted on Wednesday to resume contact training as they prepare to return to action next month.
