Harry Kane is a doubt for Tottenham’s final day trip to Norwich with the England captain ‘unwell’.
Antonio Conte’s side travel to face the relegated Canaries on Sunday, knowing a point will be enough – given their far superior goal difference over Arsenal – to secure the club’s place in the top four and Champions League qualification.
Kane’s potential absence would be a major blow for the North Londoners, with the England captain having felt unwell in the lead up to the trip to Carrow Road.
The 28-year-old has scored 11 goals in his last 15 league games for Spurs, including vital goals in the back-to-back wins over Arsenal and Burnley.
There have been rumours that there has been a food poisioning outbreak at the club, though they have now been dismissed by the Press Association, with Kane cancelling a ‘media event this afternoon as a precaution’.

Those reports come more than a decade after the infamous ‘Lasagne-gate’ incident in 2006, in which a large number of the Spurs squad fell ill on the eve of their final Premier League game of the season at West Ham.
A 2-1 defeat for a depleted Spurs saw them fall out of the top four, allowing North London rivals Arsenal – again the side competing with Conte’s team to finish in the top four this season – to seal Champions League qualification.
