Early estimations had Kane ruled out until early March, though hopes of an early return were heightened last week when the 25-year-old shared a video of him working out on social media.Some suggestions pegged Kane for a return in the north London derby on March 2, but Pochettino has revealed he is in line to be back on the pitch before that.However, this weekend’s visit of Leicester comes too soon for Kane, while he will also miss out when Spurs resume their European campaign at home to Borussia Dortmund.“Hes doing well – fantastic,” Pochettino said of Kane. “You know him well, we need to stop everyday because he wants to be ahead of his recovery.“Hes very optimistic and his determination to play as soon as possible is unbelievable. “Hes doing well. Hes nearly ready to play but we need to be realistic too and in between all the areas to take the best decision.“I think hes so close to come back. Not for Sunday or Wednesday, but we will see after.”When pressed on whether the trip to Burnley on February 23 could see Kane return, Pochettino responded: “Maybe, maybe.”2
