Report: Kane returns to Spurs training early after injury, could face Burnley

Tottenham star Harry Kane is set to make an early return from injury.

The England star could be in contention to face Burnley on Saturday at Turf Moor after returning to training ahead of schedule, according to BBC Sport's Simon Stone.

Kane, 25, sustained the latest in a long line of ankle injuries during a Jan. 13 defeat to Manchester United, and was initially expected to return to first-team activities the first week of March.

Without Kane, Spurs have won all four of their league fixtures to remain in striking distance of the top of the Premier League table. The north London side sit third, five points adrift joint-leaders Liverpool and Manchester City. Spurs also won a pivotal Champions League last-16 first-leg clash against Borussia Dortmund without their top scorer.
