White Hart Lane: Home of Tottenham(credit:

Tottenham winger Aaron Lennon is available for tonight’s Champions League clash with Real Madrid.
Lennon was a last-gasp withdrawal from the Spurs side that was thrashed 4-0 in the first leg a week ago, but the England man has overcome illness and is expected to feature against the Spanish giants at White Hart Lane this evening.
Steven Pienaar looks to have overcome his groin problem, but manager Harry Redknapp has doubts over Vedran Corluka (ankle) and Niko Kranjcar (foot).
Definitely absent for the North London club are defensive quartet Alan Hutton (knee), Ledley King (groin), Younes Kaboul and Jonathan Woodgate (both calf), while Peter Crouch sits out through suspension after being sent off in the first leg.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho is able to call upon Karim Benzema after the France international recovered from a hamstring injury that kept him out of the initial tie at the Bernabeu.
Sami Khedira missed the weekend La Liga match with the flu but looks to have recovered in time to face Spurs.
However, Pepe (suspension), Lassana Diarra (hip), Pedro Leon (knee) and Fernando Gago (groin) are all absent as Madrid look to set up a semi-final showdown with fierce rivals Barcelona.
