Tottenham Hotspur manager, Jose Mourinho, has revealed that Harry Kane told him he won’t play against Wolfsberger, because he is afraid of another injury.
Kane recently returned to action after injuring both ankles.
The England striker was left out of Spurs’ squad which beat Wolfsberge 4-1 in the first leg of their Europa League last 32 tie.
Mourinho said: “Harry made the decision, which was that to play in this game was a risk with the accumulation of minutes after the injury he had.
“He is an experienced guy who had injuries in the past and knows his body better than anyone.
“Myself and the medical department agreed with him.
“He knows I want to play him every minute of every game so it is never a question of a choice.”
