Word is that Harry Kane will play on Wednesday night against Aston Villa in the UEFA Champions League. I guess his ankle isn’t that bad after all. If Kane does play, then Vincent Kompany, a legend in the history of the Premier League, will be fielding a first team that has two former Premier League star players.
In addition to Kane (Tottenham), you could see Michael Olise (Crystal Palace) in the mix too.

Bayern enter this one having THRASHED Dinamo Zagreb 9-2; yes you read that score line right. Kane netted four times in that one, helping put the Bavarian Giants up atop the entire 24 team UCL table. Still seems super weird to look at it that way.
