Team News: Harry Kane starts for Tottenham Hotspur against Real Madrid

Harry Kane has been passed fit to start for Tottenham Hotspur against Real Madrid in the Champions League tonight.

The striker missed the 1-0 defeat at Manchester United on Saturday with a minor hamstring problem but is back in the starting XI tonight as Spurs look to wrap up qualification for the last 16 of the competition.

In all, manager Mauricio Pochettino makes three changes from that loss at Old Trafford, with Son Heung-min dropping down the bench to accommodate the return of Kane in a lone striker role with support from Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen.

Eric Dier is expected to move up into a midfield role alongside Ben Davies, Harry Winks and the returning Kieran Trippier, with Moussa Sissoko and Serge Aurier both making way.

Davinson Sanchez is also back in the XI, coming in on the right of a back three with Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen, ahead of Hugo Lloris between the sticks.

For Madrid, meanwhile, Zinedine Zidane opts to make just the one change from the side's shock 2-1 defeat at Girona on Sunday, with Nacho replacing the injured Raphael Varane at centre-back.

That means that Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo will start up front at Wembley, with support from Isco, while Toni Kroos, Casemiro and Luka Modric marshal the midfield.

Kiko Casilla keeps his place in goal as first-choice stopper Keylor Navas remains on the sidelines through injury, while Nacho joins skipper Sergio Ramos in the heart of the defence, with Achraf Hakimi at right-back and Marcelo on the left.

Tottenham Hotspur: Lloris; Sanchez, Alderweireld, Vertonghen; Trippier, Winks, Dier, Davies; Eriksen, Alli; Kane Subs: Vorm, Aurier, Rose, Dembele, Sissoko, Son, Llorente

Real Madrid: Casilla; Achraf, Ramos, Nacho, Marcelo; Kroos, Casemiro, Modric; Isco; Benzema, Ronaldo Subs: Moha, Vallejo, Theo Hernandez, Asensio, Broja Mayoral, Ceballos
