Tottenham striker Harry Kane was missing from training today ahead of Sunday's Carabao Cup final against Manchester City.

The England striker missed Tottenham's 2-1 win against Southampton on Wednesday after suffering an ankle injury in the club's 2-2 draw with Everton last week.

Speaking on Friday afternoon, interim manager Ryan Mason said: "We're not sure yet. He didn't train with the team today but we'll have more of an idea tomorrow to see if we can get him back on the pitch. It's a case of taking it hour by hour now. The days are running out.

"It's see how he feels in the next four hours, next six hours. I can't really answer that question until tomorrow. No one is really sure."

Tottenham will do all they can to get Kane on the pitch on Sunday, but they will not pressure him into playing. It will be a "combined effort", Mason says.

"How does the player feel?" Mason said. "What's the advice? What are the chances of something happening? Harry is a mature man, a mature professional footballer. He's had to deal with certain situations and we'll speak to him, with no pressure: how do you feel? What are you feeling?"
