Nuno confirmed that he will hold “socially distanced” talks later on Monday with Kane, who has denied that he refused to turn up to training last week, insisting his Saturday return was planned.
City boss Pep Guardiola has confirmed his interest in Kane, heightening the tension around the Premier League champions’ opening weekend visit to Spurs.
Asked about Kane’s availability for the match, Nuno told Sky Sports News: “All the players in the squad that work on a daily basis will be options for us, then it’s up to us to decide.”
Nuno refused to criticise Kane over the timing of his return to training, preferring to focus on trying to “solve” the situation.
“First of all we have to speak,” Nuno said. “This is going to happen today, and after that we hope to solve all the situations.
“It’s not about that (Kane’s late return), it’s about what we have to do to solve the situation – this is important.
“We have to solve it together, everybody involved has to solve it together – speaking, having a nice conversation and putting our opinions, but everybody together.”
Kane, who has scored 166 goals in 245 appearances for Tottenham, signed a six-year contract with Spurs in 2018, but the club’s failure to win and regularly compete for major trophies has led him to seek an exit.
