Bayern Munich handed double boost ahead of Tottenham clash in the Champions League

It is all set to be another big night in the Champions League for Tottenham as they host Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich tomorrow night (Tuesday).

The German giants will visit north London to face Mauricio Pochettino's men on matchday two in the group stage, with Spurs still searching for their first win in the competition this season, after a 2-2 draw against Olympiacos in Greece.

In contrast, Bayern Munich claimed all three points with a comfortable 3-0 victory against Red Star Belgrade in Germany.

And the German side are set to be boosted for the game against Spurs with the return of two key men.

Bayern Munich have confirmed on their official club website that Lucas Hernandez and Ivan Perisic are both set to travel to London for the game, having been doubts ahead of the trip.

Hernandez was replaced at half time at Paderborn on Saturday with a knee problem, but the club states that he was given the all-clear yesterday (Sunday).

Meanwhile, Perisic missed the game against Paderborn with a flu-like infection, but he has now been declared fit and will travel to north London for the game.

Both Perisic, who joined Bayern Munich on loan from Inter Milan this summer, and Hernandez started the first Champions League clash with Red Star Belgrade, when Kingsley Coman, Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Muller netted for the German side.
