Want-away striker Harry Kane was not part of the Tottenham Hotspur squad that travelled to Portugal for their first Europa Conference League playoffs against FC Pacos de Ferreira on Thursday, August 19.

Nuno Espirito Santo will now be forced to line up without his most prolific striker for the second time this season having missed out on his side's 1-0 win over City last weekend.

According to SunSport and Standard UK, Spurs shared a short clip of their players leaving for Portugal earlier today but the striker was conspicuously missing from the group of players.

Meanwhile, reports claim that the Euro 2020 runner up is expected to be reintegrated into the squad for the Europa Conference League.

And while the manager named him in his 25-man group, the forward was not taken to Portugal on Wednesday, further casting doubts on his future at the Premier League club.

Legit.ng earlier reported that Ex-Manchester City defender Micah Richards believes Harry Kane must be given the same treatment as Paul Pogba after the England striker decided not to rejoin his Tottenham teammates.

Spurs got their 2021-22 campaign off to a flying start under new boss Nuno Santos Espirito as Heung-min Son fired them to a 1-0 win over Premier League champions last weekend.

His absence has however continued to question the forward's professionalism despite having a deal with the North Londoners until the summer of 2024.
