Mauricio Pochettino has revealed Danny Rose is in contention to play against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday night.
The full-back was dropped from the matchday squad that traveled to Arsenal on Saturday, sparking reports Rose and Pochettino have had a serious falling out.
Rose has consistently been linked with a transfer to Manchester United, but Pochettino has denied any suggestion of a rift between him and his player.
The Tottenham defender was thought to be furious he did not even make the bench against Arsenal while Pochettino insisted he sat out the Gunners game due to fitness reasons.
Dortmund welcome Tottenham to Signal-Iduna Park in the penultimate game of their Champions League campaign and Pochettino revealed Rose could be recalled.
