Harry Kane confirms negative Tottenham tests and gives verdict on training return

Harry Kane has revealed the all Tottenham first-team squad and coaching staff have tested negative for coronavirus. Premier League has been on hold for the last two months amid the fight against coronavirus. Top-flight chiefs are currently locked in talks over a potential return to action behind closed doors. "Since the lockdown we started doing Zoom sessions pretty much every day," he told ITV's Good Morning Britain on Friday morning. "About a week ago we started going into the training ground for one-on-one training, still making sure we were social distancing. We had [coronavirus] tests on Monday and all the players and the staff came back negative. "The club is talking to the Premier League to try and find a way within the next couple of weeks to start training in small groups of four or five and to be tested regularly. We want to see what the Premier League's plan looks like and we will go from there." He added: "I'm happy to start training in small groups if we're allowed and to try and get back to some normality as soon as possible. I guess every player is different and they all have their own view. It's going to be a really difficult situation [playing without fans]. Liverpool deserve the title and to lift it without their fans will be a really strange situation. "We haven't been through a time like this in my lifetime so it's hard to know what the right thing to do is. The fans are a massive part of football. They make football what it is so it will be different to play without them. I've done it before for England and it's not the same. But if we want to finish the season we're going to have to do that." The Spurs striker was also asked what his opinion was on whether the Premier League season should be finished. "It's a really hard one. I don't think anyone knows the right answers at the moment," he said. "What the Premier League are doing, from what I know and what I've spoken to them about, is going with the guidelines and taking it week by week to see what the safest thing to do is. "The majority of the players are looking forward to playing again whenever its possible but we know we want it to be as safe as possible as well. It's a difficult situation and for the clubs in the Championship, League One and League Two there's a lot of uncertainty to know how financially its going to impact them. So its important we all try to help each other as much as possible during this time. The Premier League is obviously one of the biggest leagues in the world but for English football it's important we try to keep all the leagues up and running." Source: Football.london
