​Tottenham given boost as Rose, Dembele travel to Madrid

Tottenham have received a boost as it has been confirmed that Danny Rose and Mousa Dembele are part of the squad that is set to play against Real Madrid in a Champions League encounter at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday.

Rose, who has not been available since January, comes back at a convenient time for Spurs considering that Ben Davies is currently on the sidelines after failing to recover from illness.

Despite Rose being fit again, manager Mauricio Pochettino has revealed that he is not yet ready to play full games.

"To play tomorrow from the start, no (he is not ready). Maybe on the bench," said Pochettino.

"He's been training the last few weeks, he's excited and motivated. It's so good for him and the group to be involved in the group, like Dembele too."
