• Antonio Conte said England fans shouldn’t be concerned about striker Harry Kane’s fitness
• Kane has started all 14 of Spur’s Premier League games
• He is the captain of England, the most representative player’- Conte

Despite the number of matches the England and Tottenham captain has played this season, Tottenham Hotspur coach Antonio Conte said England fans shouldn’t be concerned about striker Harry Kane’s fitness for the World Cup.

Kane has started all 14 of Spur’s Premier League games, six Champions League games, and this week’s Carabao Cup loss to Nottingham Forest in addition to his international games.

After only an hour of play in that game, Conte took the striker off, saying later that Kane was “very, very fatigued” after making 21 consecutive starts for his team.

However, Conte insisted Kane would have a “great” World Cup during his news conference prior to the last league game of the season at home against Leeds United.

“We are talking about a player with great experience in managing his body,” he said.

“The fans must not be worried for him. After this (against Leeds) game, England has one week, eight days to prepare for the World Cup, but he is ready because he is working very well,” insisted Conte.

The Tottenham coach said it was almost impossible to make Kane rest as he “wants to play every game.”

“He is the captain of England, the most representative player, we are talking about a really top striker in the world. The World Cup is a big competition, the most important in the world and he has a great desire to do something special for his national team,” he added.
