Tottenham to make 'late decisions' on fitness of Harry Kane and Jan Vertonghen ahead of FA Cup clash with Fulham

Tottenham have confirmed they will make "late decisions" on the fitness of Harry Kane and Jan Vertonghen ahead of Sunday's FA Cup clash against Fulham.

Mauricio Pochettino's side travel to Craven Cottage aiming to bounce back from disappointing results against Liverpool and Gent.

The FA Cup suddenly appears to represent Tottenham's best hopes of silverware this season after falling off the pace in the Premier League title race and facing a struggle to reach the Europa League last 16.

But Pochettino has suggested he will opt to reshuffle his pack against Slavisa Jokanovic's side, who remain in the hunt for a Championship play-off place.

Kane played 90 minutes on Thursday night but picked up a minor knee problem in the closing stages of his side's 1-0 defeat at the Ghelamco Arena.

Vertonghen, meanwhile, has been sidelined since mid-January with ankle ligament damage and - like Kane - will take part in training on Saturday.

The Belgium international has missed Tottenham's last six games but Pochettino confirmed earlier this week that he could return at Fulham.

Pochettino said on Wednesday: "Jan Vertonghen is very well and maybe Sunday he'll be ready to make the starting XI or be on the bench."

The 29-year-old's return would represent a timely boost as Spurs have not looked as secure at the back without Vertonghen alongside Toby Alderweireld.
