Harry Kane could return against Arsenal on Sunday but the Tottenham striker will not be ready to face Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League.

Kane has been out for just over six weeks after injuring ligaments in his right ankle but the 23-year-old was involved in first-team training both on Monday and Tuesday.

He only did half-sessions with the rest of the squad, however, before separately completing a specific recovery programme on his own. Kane is expected to take part in full training again on Thursday.

Mauricio Pochettino said his top striker will not feature against Leverkusen at Wembley on Wednesday but left open the possibility of a north London derby return at the Emirates Stadium this weekend.

"Tomorrow, no, not on the bench," Pochettino said.

"It's good because you can see him today warming up with the team to be involved in some exercises. But no, for tomorrow he is not ready.

"Sunday? Maybe, maybe."

Toby Alderweireld has also missed the last four matches with a leg injury and Pochettino appeared less optimistic about the defender's chances of featuring this week.

Pochettino at one stage hoped Alderweireld would play against Leicester last Saturday but the Argentinian admits there have been some "slight problems" with his rehabilitation.

The Belgian was seen stretching on his own in the gym at Tottenham's training ground on Tuesday before later completing some sprint exercises separately from the rest of the squad.
