Harry Kane made his return to Tottenham training a day before their Champions League clash with Real Madrid.
The England forward injured his hamstring in Spurs’ 4-1 victory over Liverpool on October 22nd and has missed the subsequent two defeats to West Ham and Manchester United.
The 24 year old’s fitness was a doubt in the run-up to the crucial Champions League game but his comeback to first team training gives a good indication that he will be fit to play.
