Kane is just returning from a long injury layoff, having been sidelined with a hamstring problem since the turn of the year. It has been over six months now since he last played football for Tottenham. However, the England captain has recovered completely and is ready to lead the club in the final run-in as Spurs look to grab a top four finish.
Robinson, though, has urged Mourinho to be careful with how he uses the star striker. The former Spurs star has questioned whether Kane is able to start two-three matches every week, given how long he was out on the sidelines. (h/t Sky Sports)
“It will be all about how Jose (Mourinho) manages the situation because you can’t expect a player whose been out after that length of time to be able to come back and play three games an week with all the demands Premier League football puts on you.”
Robinson further went on to add that squad rotation will play a prominent role in the coming weeks given the congested schedule. He insisted that managers will need to be very much aware of how they manage the fitness of their players. (h/t Sky Sports)
