HARRY KANE WILL start for Tottenham in the Champions League final against Liverpool tonight, it has been confirmed.
It means that Lucas Moura, the player whose hat-trick against Ajax sealed Spurs’ progression to the final, has to settle for a place on the bench.
Kane has been out of action for the past two months, after picking up an injury in the quarter-final first leg against Man City, but has won his race to be fit for Tottenham’s climactic game.
Midfielder Harry Winks also starts for Spurs, having been out injured for a considerable period.
Meanwhile, the one big call Jurgen Klopp had to make sees Georginio Wijnaldum favoured over James Milner in Liverpool’s starting XI.
