Harry Kane was forced to sit out Tottenham's 3-3 Europa League draw with LASK on Thursday but his manager Jose Mourinho is confident that the in-form forward will be fit to face Arsenal in Sunday's north London derby. The extent or area of Kane's injury has not been specified but the Spurs boss.

Jose Mourinho is confident that he can count on striker Harry Kane for Tottenham's home meeting with Arsenal on Sunday, despite the England star's injury.
The in-form 27-year-old missed Thursday's Europa League trip to LASK thanks to an unspecified injury and was considered a doubt for the north London derby.
However, Mourinho is expecting that he will have returned to full fitness by Sunday to face his side's fierce rivals, against whom he has scored 10 goals.
Who is going to win the north London derby?
"I believe he is going to be fit," Mourinho said after his team reached the last 32 of the Europa League.
"I'm not sure. He's having treatment, but I could be doing some bluff and pretend he's in trouble, but he's not and I think he'll play [against Arsenal]."
