​Tottenham boss Pochettino: I'll decide on Kane return

Mauricio Pochettino says that he will make a decision on the fitness of Harry Kane.

As Spurs get back to Premier League action, they will be hoping to see Kane lining up at the weekend.

But Pochettino would not confirm whether the England skipper was ready. Kane will have a fitness test before the away clash against Burnley on Saturday.

Asked whether Kane feels ready to play, Pochettino said to reporters: "I don't care if he feels he can play or not – who is going to decide in the end is myself with my coaching staff, the doctor, the medical staff and the sports science [staff]. If you ask him 10 days ago he was ready to play but in the end the last word is always with me.

"I'm the one who will take the risk, the decision and everything that is going on with the team."
