Kane to start as Tottenham welcomes Real Madrid
Harry Kane will be threatening Real Madrid's defence on Wednesday.
Kane was named to Tottenham Hotspur's starting lineup for a Champions League game versus Real Madrid, recovered from the hamstring problem that kept him out of a defeat at Manchester United. The match will mark his first appearance since he tallied two goals in a victory over Liverpool.
