Harry Kane set to miss Tottenham’s PL opener after extending his holiday
The Telegraph (subscription required) provided the latest on the Harry Kane-Tottenham saga. According to the report, the striker is still missing from the club’s training. Against the club’s desire, Harry Kane has extended his holiday. The misery does not end there for Tottenham fans as the English talisman looks to have ruled himself out the opening Premier League game on August 15.
The report adds that Harry Kane has remained in Florida. He will have to quarantine upon his return to England. The 28-year-old will certainly miss the whole of the pre-season fixtures for the club. Hence, his availability in the Premier League opener against Manchester City is unlikely.
The situation comes with a bit of Irony. Harry Kane who is set to miss the Manchester City fixture, is reportedly pushing for a move to the Manchester club.
How much does this affect Tottenham?
To put it bluntly, losing your best player against the current champions is not an ideal scenario. Hence, one could think that club would try their absolute best to make sure he plays some part in the Manchester City fixture.
Tottenham’s frustrations come from the fact that this is not the first time Kane has missed pre-season. The player missed the start of the pre-season even in the 2020/21 campaign.
