HARRY KANE has tweeted that he is "making good progress" as he recovers from a hamstring injury that is expected to threaten his participation in Euro 2020.

The Tottenham talisman posted a video on Twitter of himself working on his recovery in the gym.

Kane tore his hamstring during their 1-0 defeat by Southampton earlier in the month and now faces a race to be fit for the Euros.

The England captain had surgery on his hamstring and sports medicine specialist Michael Davison claims Kane could return earlier than expected.

Davison said: “I would expect him to be able to return to pitch based work around 10 to 12 weeks (after the operation), and be available for selection by 14 weeks post operative.”

The positive signs from Kane were a boost for England, as well as Spurs fans on social media.

Spurs fan Leanne wrote: "Take all the time you need to fully recover. Glad to see it going well!

Another fan wasn't in a rush to see Kane back, insisting he doesn't rush the recovery: "Please take rest and come back fully fit for us next season."

LilyWhite Rose simply put: "This is beautiful."

Spurs have until 11pm tomorrow to bring in a striker to replace Kane for the rest of the season, with Olivier Giroud a surprising target.

Spurs boss Jose Mourinho is keen to bring in another forward to relieve the pressure off Dele Alli, Son Heung-min and Lucas Moura, who are not No9s.

It could prove to be a tough ask with chairman Daniel Levy only allowing Mourinho £10m to spend on a new forward.

Spurs have just spent £27million on bringing Steven Bergwijn to the club from PSV Eindhoven and Levy is determined to stick to a budget.
