I had my TC chip all polished and ready to go but back into its case it goes.

Damn shame.

He could easily still play both

Typical of this season is that news about Kane

manual_man · 29-12-2017 2:32pm

Christensen trained yesterday according to Dinnery. WIN

Could and probably will but if I recall correctly he was sent out not particularly fit at some part earlier this season and was terrible.

Captain rather than TC for me anyway.

I'd rather it be illness than injury doubt, he has all weekend to recover

SlickRic · 29-12-2017 3:04pm

I'll still keep him, probably even captain him. Any notions of TC are put the window though.

ScummyMan · 29-12-2017 3:16pm

I'm still triple captaining him. Tis only a touch of the flu, he will still play 150+ mins

BBC:

Harry Kane has come down with a bit of a bug it seems, arguably at the right time given he was fit enough to bang in a hat-trick against Southampton in midweek to set the Premier League record for most goals scored in a calendar year.

Luckily, Tottenham are not in action again until Tuesday, when they face Swansea, and boss Mauricio Pochettino expects him to be fit by then.

"He's ill. He's at home," says Pochettino. "The doctor was there at his house. We'll see tomorrow if he can be training here. It's no big issue."

Blow for NUFC ahead of Brighton as goalkeeper Rob Elliot ruled out with thigh injury.

Get Harry some flat 7 up and motilium and he’ll be grand!

Can't understand how he's still the 3rd most bought in player according to the FPL status page

Foster it is then, not that Elliot was getting many non-penalty-save points.

Any word on D.Silva?

Pep remains coy on the availability of David Silva. "We will see in the next days." #MCFC

What the hell happened Elliott?!

Speroni vs Man City it is......:o

A thigh injury is all I can see. I'd much rather have a one-legged Elliot against Brighton than a fully fit Speroni against Kun and co.

My guess would be Kane rested v Swans and back for WH. He's probably fine but I don't see why they'd risk it in an easy fixture.

My guess is he'll be rested in the cup against Afc Wimbledon after the West Ham game.

He will have had a week to recover between the Southampton & Swansea games.

It's not like a muscle injury, it wouldn't be risking him when all he has is a cold/flu

I don't think Spurs will have an "easy fixture" until CL football is secured, they'll be "must-wins".

Poch isn't going to be looking at his FPL score, he'll see his side in 5th wedged between Liverpool and Arsenal. I think Kane plays every minute until a game is won, as long as one leg isn't hanging off him.

manual_man · 29-12-2017 6:14pm

Spurs are in a massive battle for a Champions league spot. Kane plays both league games imo unless he's still very ill. Rested for the cup

There is no risk with a cold. If he’s over it he plays, it’s not like he will aggravate it!

It’s quite possible from what Pochettino said that Kane might be back training tomorrow.

Damn it
In what’s probably going to be a slack week he had a good chance of a few points

Could have been worse though
Could have taken hit 2 weeks ago to get Adrian in for foster .......
