Alan Brazil said on The Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show on talkSPORT on Monday morning (6:22am, May 20, 2019) that he thinks that Harry Kane will start for Tottenham Hotspur against Liverpool in the Champions League final next month.

Tottenham will take on Premier League rivals Liverpool in the final of the Champions League at Wanda Metropolitano in Madrid on June 1.

Kane has not featured in a competitive match since April 9 after suffering a ligament injury to his left ankle.

The London Evening Standard, though, has reported that the England international striker is confident that he will be fit and available for the big game.

Former Tottenham forward Brazil has said that he thinks that the 25-year-old striker will start against Liverpool.

Brazil said on The Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show on talkSPORT on Monday morning (6:22am, May 20, 2019) regarding Kane: “I still think Harry plays. I think he starts.”

Big call

Spurs did relatively well without Kane in the final weeks of the season, especially in the Champions League, and it will be a big call from manager Mauricio Pochettino regarding the striker.

True, the Englishman is one of the best strikers in the world, but he has not played for several weeks, and the players who have done in his absence will feel that they deserve to start the final against Liverpool.
