Harry Kane’s close friend and teammate at Tottenham, Matt Doherty, has backed him to bounce back from his World Cup setback by scoring “a lot of goals” for Spurs in the second half of the season.
Kane stunned the players by entering the home dressing room at halftime during Spurs’ 1-1 friendly tie with Nice on Wednesday.
The England attacker was given time off after the World Cup in Qatar, where his missed penalty late in a 2-1 loss to France in the quarterfinals caused the national team to exit the competition. He wasn’t slated to return to club action until Friday.
“Harry is absolutely fine. We all know his character, he’s one of the strongest characters we know, so he’ll be absolutely fine,” Doherty insisted.
“Yeah, he came in at half-time (against Nice). It was unexpected. We didn’t know. We’re obviously close friends, so it was good to have him back.

“I think all players use the negative times as a learning curve as a way to motivate them to be better. I don’t think it will be just for his case, I think a lot of people will be that way.
“For us, we want him to come back and be the best version of himself which he has been for most of the season so far.
“I don’t think we’ve got any questions about how he’s going to return.
“I think he’s going to come back pretty good and I think he’s going to score a lot of goals for us and win us a lot of games.”
