Cristian Romero returns for Tottenham tonight as they attempt to pull off a miraculous comeback against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.
The Spurs captain missed the draw with Liverpool on Sunday due to concussion after clashing heads with Joao Palhinha late in the 5-2 first-leg defeat to Atletico.

Palhinha remains unavailable having only been able to train by himself on Tuesday, but Romero comes back into the starting lineup.
Asked about the Argentine, Tudor said: "You saw him in training today. He can play.
"Joao, no. He is doing worse so he will be for the next game but Romero is in."
Spurs are also boosted by Destiny Udogie and Lucas Bergvall being back on the bench against Atletico.
Bergvall has been out for two months after ankle surgery, while a hamstring injury has kept Udogie on the sidelines since early February.
Tudor has Conor Gallagher back on the bench, after he recovered from the virus that kept him out of the trip to Anfield.
The Spurs boss has gone for his preferred back-three shape or rather than stickinmg with the back four that was far more effective against Liverpool.
Xavi Simons comes into the side for a rare start under the Croat, with Randal Kolo Muani benefitting from Richarlison's suspension.
