Tottenham Hotspur are in Italy preparing for tonight’s Champions League showdown with Juventus.

New signing Lucas Moura is with the squad and is eligible to make his full debut for the club tonight.

The former Paris Saint-Germain winger is not cup tied and could be involved although it is most likely he will begin the game on the bench.

Lucas Moura #7 of Paris Saint-Germain tries to break away from Radja Nainggolan #4 of AS Roma during the second half at Comerica Park on July 19, 2017 in Detroit, Michigan.

Manager Mauricio Pochettino has been reluctant to use the Brazilian so far as he has barely played this season for PSG and wants to get him up to full speed.

There remains a possibility that he wants to keep him as a surprise for this evening, but selecting him to start would be a gamble.

Tonight’s match is the first leg of the Champions League last 16 and Spurs will be pushing to score a crucial away goal.

Tottenham beat Juventus in pre-season at Wembley 2-0 and if they return with a healthy scoreline for the second leg they will be confident of seeing it through.
