Mauricio Pochettino has hinted to the Daily Mail that he is optimistic that Harry Kane will be on the pitch for Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League final.

Kane has been ruled out with injury since he damaged his ankle in the first-leg of Tottenham’s Champions League quarter-final against Manchester City.

There were fears that Kane would miss the rest of the campaign, but Spurs’ star man has fought hard to have a chance of coming back in time to feature in Madrid.

Kane appears to be winning his race to be fit for the Champions League final.

And Pochettino has hinted that Kane will play a part for Tottenham in the Champions League final, if he is fit enough to feature.

He said: “We’re hoping he’ll be able to give us a hand – either from the start, from the bench or if not, then by giving us moral support in the dressing room – but we are optimistic that he’ll be able to help us on the pitch.”

Pochettino faces a big dilemma over where to play Kane if he does make it back.
