Harry Kane starts for Tottenham in their Champions League final against Liverpool in Madrid.
The England captain has not played a competitive match for almost two months due to a ‘significant’ ankle injury suffered in April.
He replaces semi-final hero Lucas Moura, who starts on the bench despite his hat-trick against Ajax in the previous round.
Kane is Tottenham’s top scorer this season, but doubts surround his match fitness as Spurs embark on the biggest night in their history.

Harry Winks, who has been out for nearly two months with a hip problem, is also named in Mauricio Pochettino’s starting XI for the all-English showpiece.
Meanwhile, Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino also returns from injury to start up front for the Reds.
The Brazilian provides Jurgen Klopp with a timely boost after missing the last three games with a thigh problem.
Elsewhere, Georginio Wijnaldum gets the nod in midfield following his heroics against Barcelona in the miraculous semi-final comeback, with James Milner the man to make way.
