Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo will decide whether Harry Kane will make his return at Wolves after Saturday\u2019s training session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The England captain, whose future continues to dominate the agenda, has not travelled to Portugal for the Europa Conference League play-off first leg against Pacos de Ferreira on Thursday as he continues to train in London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spurs resume their Premier League campaign with a trip to Nuno\u2019s former club on Sunday and the Portuguese will decide whether Kane will make his Spurs return after the final training session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nuno said when asked whether Kane would be fit to play at Molineux, he said: \u201cI cannot answer that. What I can tell you is he\u2019s better. He\u2019s getting his fitness better and better each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe worked today, he\u2019s going to work tomorrow and he\u2019s going to join the group on Friday. And on Saturday we\u2019re going to make a decision on who\u2019s going to be involved in the next game.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kane only joined in first-team training on Tuesday after a period of self-isolation last week following his late return from holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The England captain posted on social media on Wednesday afternoon a picture of himself training alongside the words: \u201cAnother session in the bank.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was not involved in Tottenham\u2019s win over Manchester City \u2013 the team he wants to join this summer \u2013 on Sunday as he was not deemed fit enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kane was named in the 25-man squad for the two-legged play-off, which raised prospects of him travelling to Portugal for Thursday\u2019s first leg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, he has remained in London and will continue to work on his fitness as he integrates back into the first-team squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team-mate Ben Davies said: \u201cHe\u2019s probably one of the best strikers in the world and we definitely want him as part of our team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe is training with us. As far as anything else goes it is out of my hands, but it is definitely having him in the team is better than not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is a blessing when he just gets to chat with us. There has been no real chats about what has been happening.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spurs are heavy favorites to get past the Portuguese outfit without their star player and Nuno has revealed that none of the players who were involved in the victory over Manchester City will start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tottenham are having to qualify for a third-tier European competition just two years after they were in the Champions League final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Nuno said: \u201cWe take it very seriously this competition. What we consider, this is a good chance for us to have the squad involved, to have young players from the academy also on the bench potentially, and this is how we want to build our squad, to have real competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor our players it\u2019s the best thing we can have because we are starting all the competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a new competition for everybody. I think it\u2019s raising a lot of expectations among all of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a chance for not so big clubs in European football, that in their own leagues achieve some success, to compete against big clubs like us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo I\u2019m looking forward to the competition. And for us as Tottenham, all the games, all the competitions are important. We are taking very seriously our jobs and our tasks.\u201d<\/p>\n
