Harry Kane will be fit to play for Tottenham in the north London derby against Arsenal, Mauricio Pochettino confirmed on Wednesday afternoon.

Kane has been left out of England’s friendlies against Germany and Brazil following discussions between the club’s medical staff and Gareth Southgate.

The striker had been recovering from a hamstring injury which forced him to miss his side’s 1-0 defeat to Manchester United on October 28 and was substituted late in the second half of the 1-0 win over Crystal Palace on Sunday.

But Pochettino revealed: “He received a kick in his knee but don’t worry, he will be available in the next game.”
