Tottenham forward Harry Kane has reassured Spurs fans that his late return to pre-season training will not affect his readiness for the new campaign.

The 21-year-old has played regularly for both club and country from November 2014, hence a later return to training than some of his Spurs colleagues.

"I don't think I'll miss the start of the season, there's more than enough time to be ready for the start of the season," he told the FA's official website.

"Even though I'm away, it's not always physically a problem as sometimes you need to get away mentally as well.

"I still keep myself fit and in shape, it isn't like I just let myself go, so I'll be ready for the start of the season for sure," he declared.
