Kane could not help celebrating Spurs’ semi-final win despite his injury

But Allardyce says the Three Lions captain will not be sharp enough for that level of game and should start on the bench.Speaking on Tuesdays Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, Big Sam said: Would I put him in? No.All those games hes been missing… for me he would be a great sub.You would have a very upset Harry Kane but if its best for the team, its best for the team.Getty3

Kane suffered an ankle injury in Spurs’ 1-0 victory over Manchester City in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final

When youre injured for that period of time, having not had a game or that much training, I know the lads are a lot fitter now, but hes bound to be a touch rusty.Tottenham fans will give me some stick, but Im only thinking from my professional point of view as a manager.But it depends on how Pochettino sees him and how his fitness is.

Alan: If Kane declares himself fit, would you put him in? Sam: No… he'd be a great sub. Alan: Even if hes fit? Sam: Having not had a game or training hed be rusty.
