Spurs take on LASK in Group J of the Europa League on Thursday and vice-captain Kane is not set to be part of the travelling squad but Mourinho remains hopeful that the England captain will be fit for the weekend fixture.
Fellow forward Carlos Vinicius, midfielder Erik Lamela and left-back Sergio Regulion were also absent from training ahead of the clash in Austria, but centre-back Toby Alderweireld has returned after a groin injury.
Asked about Kane, Mourinho said: "I'm not going to tell you the nature of his injury. I think he has a good chance (to be fit to play against Arsenal).
"I don't want to lie, I don't want to hide anything in relation to is he going to play or no? I think he's going to play. My feeling is that he's going to play."
Kane, the club's top goalscorer with 13 goals in all competitions this season, was an unused substitute when Spurs beat Ludogorets 4-0 last week but played the whole of Sunday's goalless draw at Chelsea.
Meanwhile, Dele Alli has barely featured for Spurs in the Premier League this season, but has been a regular in the Europa League.
After a strong showing in the win over Ludogorets, the England international was again not part of the squad for the weekend game at Stamford Bridge.
But Mourinho insisted: "I don't have any problem with Dele, I don't have any problem with any one of the players."
