The injury was severe enough to require surgery, leading to concerns over a long-term absence.<\/p>\n<p>Many fans worried that <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/tottenham\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tottenham<\/a>&#8216;s season would suffer due to their star-man being injured, and there were even fears that he could miss out on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uefa.com\/uefaeuro-2020\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Euro 2020.<\/a> Kane is a key player for both England and Tottenham so this injury was very significant. However, it seems that the recovery process has gone well, and Kane will be back soon.<\/p>\n<h2>Harry Kane On Track To Finish Off The Premier League Season and Play in The Euros for England<\/h2>\n<h2>What was said<\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;Unless something pretty drastic happens between now and then, I&#8217;ll be there,&#8221; said Kane when asked about his potential involvement in the Euros. The tournament begins on June 12.<\/p>\n<p>Kane has been working hard on his fitness, telling the Evening Standard &#8220;I&#8217;m still not back training with the first team, but I&#8217;m working hard in the gym, I&#8217;m getting stronger all the time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re talking a few more weeks, and I&#8217;ll be playing again. I don&#8217;t want to make a prediction for which game I might be back, but I am hoping somewhere between the start and the middle of April.&#8221; This timing would give Kane around a month to play in the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/premier-league\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Premier League<\/a> before the Euros.<\/p>\n<p>Kane even confidently said, &#8220;In my head, I am definitely at the Euros.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Why It Is Important<\/h3>\n<p>Fans of both England and Tottenham will breathe a sigh of relief knowing that their captain will soon be fit. Kane is an integral part of both teams. He is Tottenham&#8217;s top scorer for the past five seasons and led England to the 2018 World Cup semi-finals as the competition&#8217;s top scorer. He is also England&#8217;s 6th highest all-time goalscorer.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"hw05CqsGQV9PEP3HC5n9Gg\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1132249164\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'hw05CqsGQV9PEP3HC5n9Gg',sig:'i_c_h5ZX6wRBO4xSl3bmM5ttU8OstckObn83pv81tZM=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1132249164',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Harry Kane has been injured since the new year but has been recovering well and believes himself that he will be ready for Euro 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3305,"featured_media":544976,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1830,161,30,3,24],"tags":[4063,4433,264,40,96,136],"class_list":["post-544943","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-injuries","category-international-football","category-news","category-premier-league","category-tottenham","tag-2019-20-premier-league","tag-2020-european-championships","tag-harry-kane","tag-premier-league","tag-tottenham-hotspur","tag-world-football"],"modified_by":"Sean Wilson","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/544943","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3305"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=544943"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/544943\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/544976"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=544943"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=544943"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=544943"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
