Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has told the club’s official Twitter page that Danny Rose will be involved in the match against Real Madrid this week.

Spurs will take on Spanish and European giants Madrid away from home at the Santiago Bernabeu in the Champions League on Tuesday evening.

England international defender Rose will be part of the team for the Group H game, according to Spurs manager Pochettino.

Pochettino, though, has stated that the 27-year-old left-back will be on the substitutes’ bench for Tottenham.

Rose is one of the best left-backs in the Premier League, and him being on the substitutes’ bench will be a boost to Tottenham.

The former Leeds United prospect has been injured for a while now, and one can understand why Pochettino does not want him to start against Madrid.

However, the 27-year-old left-back is good enough to make an impact as a substitute for Tottenham against Madrid at the Bernabeu.
