Tottenham striker Harry Kane has been unable to join in with the start of pre-season training as he is in quarantine following a trip to the Bahamas.

The England captain was on holiday in the Caribbean islands when it was added to the list of countries on the United Kingdom's quarantine list earlier this month.

That means he has been in self-isolation at home with his pregnant wife and two children while Jose Mourinho's side began their preparations for the 2020-21 season.

Kane is expected to be back at the club's Hotspur Way training centre next week and should have no issues with being ready for the club's Premier League opener with Everton or England's Nations League games the previous week.

The striker has plenty of experience of training alone as he spent the best part of four months on an individual training plan as part of his rehabilitation from a hamstring injury.
