Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino delivers Harry Kane injury update ahead of Liverpool Champions League final

Mauricio Pochettino is confident Harry Kane will be available for Tottenham Hotspur's Champions League showdown against Liverpool next month.

And the Spurs boss hopes both Jan Vertonghen and Harry Winks will also be fit for the clash with the Reds at Atletico Madrid's Wanda Metropolitano stadium on June 1.

Kane hasn't featured for Tottenham since injuring ankle ligaments during the Champions League quarter-final first leg win at home to Manchester City on April 9.

He was initially ruled out of for the season, but given an outside chance of being available if Tottenham progressed to the final.

Winks has also been unavailable since the City match after undergoing surgery on a groin problem.

Vertonghen, meanwhile, left the Johan Cruyff Arena on crutches and wearing a protective boot after suffering a foot injury at the end of the dramatic 3-2 in over Ajax on Wednesday that booked Tottenham's place in the final.

And asked if the injured trio would be available for Madrid, Pochettino said on Friday: "I hope so. It is the most important game in the history of the club."

With Champions League football already assured barring some freak results on the final day, Tottenham are expected to be without a host of players at home to Everton on Sunday.
