Tottenham Hotspur's star striker Harry Kane is set for a return to action in the very near future, having been sidelined for nearly a month by an ankle ligament injury.
England skipper Kane has not featured since the 1-0 Premier League loss to Manchester United on Sunday 13th January, but Spurs head coach Mauricio Pochettino says his player is closing in on a return to the fold.
If you see him, he's nearly ready to play.

The Argentinian did, however, rule Kane out of both the league clash with Leicester City this weekend and the Champions League game against Borussia Dortmund in midweek.
He told reporters ahead of the Wembley game against the Foxes on Sunday: "He's doing well, he's doing fantastic.
"We have to stop him every day, because he wants to be ahead of his recovery and he's very optimistic and his determination to play as soon as possible is unbelievable.
"If you see him, he's nearly ready to play, but we need to be realistic too. I think he's so close to come back again, not for Sunday and not for Wednesday, but we'll see after that."
Kane has scored 14 Premier League goals this season, the same number of Manchester City ace Sergio Aguero.
Only Arsenal frontman Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (15) and Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah (16) have more to their name.
Kane can be backed at 10/1 to be the leading scorer in the Premier League come the end of the season, with Salah priced at 1/1 and Aguero available at 3/1.
