Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has claimed that Harry Kane could make his comeback from injury before the end of February, after the England ace returned to training ahead of schedule.
The Spurs talisman injured ankle ligaments in last month's 1-0 Premier League loss to Manchester United, and wasn't due to return to match fitness until March. His side have crashed out of the League Cup and FA Cup in his absence, but have impressed in the Premier League, and currently sit just five points of leaders Manchester City with a game in hand.

The news of Kane's imminent return will be a huge boost to Spurs, who have quietly hauled their way back into the title race after four of their last five Premier League matches. With 13 matches left to play, Spurs have an excellent chance of narrowing the gap on City and Liverpool, and Kane's goal-scoring threat will be imperative to achieving this target.
