Arsenal will travel across London to take on Tottenham Hotspur in the North London Derby early next month.
And before the match, Mauricio Pochettino must be a really happy man.
Spurs have lost a number of key players to injuries during the past month and perhaps the biggest setback was when Harry Kane picked up an ankle injury vs Manchester United in January.
Initially, it was reported that Harry Kane would be out of action for a couple of months but earlier this week reports suggested that the England international had returned back to light training.
And on Wednesday, the club confirmed that Harry Kane had returned back to full training.

It is being reported that Pochettino will not rush Harry Kane into action and the forward might only get to play a couple of minutes in the second half during Spurs’ next clash vs Burnley.
After the Burnley game, Spurs take on Chelsea and this is the game that Kane is targeting for a start.
If Harry Kane were to start vs Chelsea then the forward will undoubtedly be in full swing when Arsenal visit on the 2nd of March.
Apart from Harry Kane, Ben Davies too has returned back from his injury and the left-back should also feature vs Burnley during the weekend.
Ben Davies has been a far better player than Danny Rose this season and his return will also be an issue for Arsenal in two weeks time.
Right now as things are shaping up, it looks like when Arsenal take on Spurs for the North London derby, Pochettino will have a more or less fit squad.
And given the number of goals that the Gunners have been leaking this campaign, this is certainly bad news for Unai Emery.
