Tottenham Hotspur confirm Harry Kane is back on the pitch as recovery continues

Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed that striker Harry Kane has returned to the training pitch as part of his recovery from an ankle injury.

The England international suffered ligament damage when he was tackled during Spurs' 6-0 win over Millwall in an FA Cup quarter-final on March 12.

The North London outfit did not give an expected date of return, but reports have claimed that the club hope to have their star player back by the end of April when they take on arch rivals Arsenal.

The club have indicated that Kane is improving by tweeting that the 23-year-old has "commenced early field work".
