Harry Kane will be in the Tottenham Hotspur matchday squad for Sunday's huge Premier League clash against Chelsea.

The England international has been out of action since injuring his ankle in the first-half of the 4-1 win over Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium earlier in the month and there were initial fears that he'd be on the sidelines for a number of weeks - with some placing his World Cup hopes in jeopardy.

Although those fears were eased once the striker was pictured speaking to Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate without wearing a protective boot.

Then during his pre-match press conference, manager Mauricio Pochettino revealed he planned to give Kane every chance to prove his fitness ahead of the trip to Stamford Bridge.

"We need to assess him, he is very positive and is doing very well, every day he is improving," he told reporters on Thursday. "We need to assess, there is still a few days to the game.

"It's difficult now to say yes or no to be involved in the game."

Well it would appear that Kane has done enough as football.london understands that the 24-year-old has recovered efficiently to take his place in the Spurs squad that will make the short trip across the capital.

Though it must be noted that it's unclear as to if the striker will start in west London.

Even so, such news is likely to be a massive boost for the Lilywhites' hopes of gaining a positive result against the Blues.

Spurs go into the game with a five-point advantage over their London rivals in the race to seal a top four spot in the Premier League - thus qualifying for next season's Champions League.

Kane will also have one eye on catching Liverpool's Mohamed Salah in the Golden Boot race after the Egypt international extended his lead at the top to five goals after netting in the 2-1 win over Crystal Palace.
