Tottenham have been boosted with the news that in-form striker Harry Kane has recovered from a minor hamstring complaint to face the La Liga champions.

Pochettino said he was "very confident" the England international would feature at Wembley, with the Spurs manager confirming he will make a late decision on the player's fitness ahead of the game.

"He is on the list, we have to assess him," he said. "I think maybe it can be possible he will be available to play, but I don't want to be 100 per cent sure about that decision.
