It is quite funny how a simple remark from Jose Mourinho about one of the Tottenham players can get all twisted out of proportion.
The Internet is buzzing right now with Harry Kane apparently a doubt for the Arsenal game next Sunday because of what Jose Mourinho said this afternoon.
It is true that Mourinho said that Kane is currently injured and it is perfectly reasonable to be concerned if that is all that was said but it is not.
Mourinho also stated quite clearly that he believes that Kane will play. These are the two Tweets from Football London correspondent Alasdair Gold that has got everyone in a panic.
Just asked Mourinho about Kane, Reguilon, Lamela and Vinicius missing training. He confirmed they are all injured: "Erik Lamela I don't believe has a chance for the weekend. Harry, Vinicius and Sergio I believe there is a chance for the weekend [to face Arsenal]."

More Mourinho on Harry Kane: "I'm not going to say about the nature of his injury. I think he has a good chance of playing at the weekend [against Arsenal], I believe he will play." https://t.co/9xeYqEyXZo

There you go, Mourinho makes his thinking abundantly clear on the matter but you just know the media are going to get all hysterical about this and only quote Mourinho confirming that Kane missed training due to injury.
And anyway, even if Kane was injured and out of action it is not as if we don’t have sufficient back up these days, We are not Arsenal, we do have quality depth in our squad.
