Mauricio Pochettino provides injury update ahead of Champions League match with Tottenham

Mauricio Pochettino provides injury update ahead of Champions League match with Tottenham Tottenham head coach Mauricio Pochettino has provided update on his squad ahead of the Champions League final against Liverpool. Spurs will play their all-English European final of the week – after Chelsea play Arsenal in the Europa League final on Wednesday (8pm ko). Hary Kane could be forced to come off the bench after rehabilitation from ankle injury. The star missed the remainder of the Premier League season - nine games in all competitions - as he continued his rehabilitation. And now Mauricio Pochettino ha provided update on his physical state. “Kane is training, he's in a good phase of recovery,” he said. “We hope he's there to help whether that's from the start, off the bench or as moral support in the dressing room. We're optimistic that he can be there to help on the pitch.” Lucas Moura, in particular, has stepped up to the plate, having scored a hat-trick against Ajax in the semi-final second leg to send Spurs to Madrid. "We've been through very hard situations and the team has showed character. You don't eliminate [Manchester] City or come back against Ajax by chance. This gave us strength. “The start of the season was difficult, especially when we had to go back to playing at Wembley [Stadium]. “The fans wanted to move to the new stadium. We suffered a lot, it seemed like the stadium would never be finished. “The negativity invaded us a bit, but the people made a great effort to come back. It's a great lesson for many people. “When you go through what we did for 10 months, you can understand the tears in the semi-final.
