Kane missed last weekend's defeat to Manchester United.

And while it is still a doubt he could be in the firing line for the visit of Zinedine Zidane's men, his quick return to action is good news for Poch.

For all Spurs' attacking qualities it was keeper Hugo Lloris who was in top form when Spurs earned a brilliant 1-1 draw against Los Blancos in Madrid earlier this month.

Neither side are yet to lose in Group H and both have seven points from three games played.
