Harry Kane is confident he will be fit to spearhead Tottenham’s bid to beat Liverpool in next month’s Champions League Final .

After joining his team-mates’ celebrations following their remarkable semi-final victory over Ajax, the England captain believes he can recover from an ankle ligament injury — the fifth of his career — in time to take on Jurgen Klopp’s team in Madrid on June 1.

Kane did the latest damage in the 1-0 win over Manchester City in the first leg of the quarter-final on April 9, after which boss Mauricio Pochettino admitted the

25-year-old may miss the remainder of the campaign.

But that was before Spurs knew their season would extend to June 1. The Premier League campaign ends on Sunday, leaving Kane three more weeks to regain fitness. He said: “Hopefully [I’ll be fit]. Rehab is going well so far. I start straight-line running this week, that was why I was okay to straight-line run (onto the pitch at the end)! I did not want to cut any corners.

“We just see. So far, so good. If it carries on how it should then I would hope to be (fit), but there is still a few weeks to go.”

On Spurs’ triumph, Kane added: “I am a fan first and foremost. I want to win. I know how much it means to the club, everyone involved, the staff, the players, the chairman, everyone. As a player as well, I am looking at the game and thinking what I would be doing if I was out there? The lads dug deep, showed heart, showed passion and that is all we ask for.

“Over the two legs we probably didn’t play as well as we’d have liked but we found a way, just as Liverpool found a way to beat Barcelona. Now we have got one more game in June. We have got to take that all in and prepare for that one.”
