Ben Davies out of Tottenham’s Champions League clash against Real Madrid due to illness
Wales star's illness appears to have opened the door to Danny Rose making his first appearance of the season
BEN DAVIES has been ruled out of Tottenham's Champions League clash with Real Madrid.
The Wales star is said to be struggling with an illness.
His omission could open the door to Danny Rose making his first appearance of the season.
The England left-back was seen with the rest of the Spurs squad boarding a plane to Madrid.
Rose will train with the team tonight - as well Mousa Dembele.
Also out for boss Mauricio Pochettino are Victor Wanyama (knee) and Georges-Kevin NKoudou (concussion).
Rose has kept boss Pochettino on his toes this season despite not recording any game time.
SunSport told you how Rose said he would be open to discussing a bid for him with boss Poch.
And in an attack at the club's wage structure, he demanded players deserved to be paid the market rate.
Those comments seem especially prescient given news Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is plotting a £50million move for the England defender.
Latest Spurs news
Star man Harry Kane was present getting on board the flight too - after being hailed by Zinedine Zidane.
The Bernabeu chief labelled Kane a "complete player".
Zizou said: "I don't know what will happen in the future but in the present he is a very important player and a key player for Tottenham.
"He is very good at everything, but what he does well is that he always goes towards the goal and his speed is very good.
"He is a complete player. He didn't seem to be [when he was younger] but in the end, that is what he is."
Spurs will be desperate to make it three wins from three in their Champions League campaign.
