Harry Kane is hoping to recover from illness to play for Tottenham in its next Premier League game at Swansea City on January 2, while Victor Wanyama has returned to full training.

Spurs confirmed the latest team news on the club's Twitter account on Friday as Mauricio Pochettino's men seek to continue their bid for Champions League qualification against a Swansea side which will be under the watchful eye of new boss Carlos Carvalhal.
