JAKARTA - Tottenham Hotspur manager Nuno Espirito Santo said on Sunday that striker Harry Kane had returned to the club and is self-isolating at the training complex while fulfilling quarantine requirements after he vacationed in the Bahamas and Florida.

The 28-year-old Kane did not appear in pre-season training last week but said he had never refused to train amid reports he was trying to force a move to Premier League champions Manchester City.

Nuno said that he had not spoken to the club captain. Kane will train alone until Thursday to adhere to protocols put in place to reduce the risk of coronavirus infection.

"Harry is with us, he has to be quarantined, he is at The Lodge, but he is training," Nuno said, referring to the players' luxury housing facilities at the training complex.

"We hope to integrate Harry when he follows all the protocols we have in place."

"I will speak to Harry as soon as possible, we have a training session tomorrow with social distancing, hopefully I will speak to Harry."

Nuno made the comments following Tottenham's 1-0 pre-season win over north London rivals Arsenal.

On Friday, Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola confirmed the club were still interested in signing the England captain after a reported initial offer of £100 million (138.66 million US dollars) was rejected by the London club in June.

Tottenham, who finished seventh in the Premier League last season, will host Manchester City on 15 August in their 2021-22 Premier League opener.
