Kane played in Spurs' 1-1 draw at the Bernabeu last month but missed out as his side suffered a 1-0 defeat at Manchester United on Saturday.

His fitness was regarded as a major doubt for the visit of Zinedine Zidane's side, but he has been named in the starting line up.

Zidane has been forced to name a defensive line short of a number of big names, but Cristiano Ronaldo - who scored in the two teams' last encounter - takes his place along with Isco and Karim Benzema in attack.
