Alan Hutton has insisted that Tottenham Hotspur should keep Harry Kane available for all games
Former Tottenham Hotspur right-back Alan Hutton has insisted that it is “massively important” for Spurs to keep Harry Kane available for all the games.
Kane is walking on really thin ice having picked up four yellow-cards so far in the Premier League. The rule dictates that a player will serve an automatic one-match ban if they pick up five booking before 19 matches.
Spurs have played 16 league games so far and will play arch-rivals Arsenal for their 19th game. As such there is a huge risk that the England international could miss the north London derby next month.
His importance to the team cannot be stated enough and Hutton while speaking exclusively to Football. Insider said that it is “massively important” for the 29-year-old to feature in all of the games for his side.
“It is massively important. You see how much they rely on him. They need him on the pitch, they will not want to lose him. They still rely heavily on Kane so they will want him for the upcoming games.”
“I do not think it will change anything. They will not rest him, he will play all the minutes and they will just hope that he does not pick up that yellow card.”
The former right-back is not wrong in his assessment. The Three Lions captain has been the talisman for the north London side for a long time and has been in terrific form for us this season too.
Kane has scored 13 goals in 16 league games so far and was also on the scoresheet against Brentford earlier this week as the Lilywhites came back from two goals down to earn a point at Brentford Community Stadium.
