Juventus have named Gonzalo Higuaín in their squad to face Tottenham in the Champions League, but Massimiliano Allegri will be without Mario Mandzukic.

Higuaín fit after first-leg double

Argentina striker Higuaín trained on Tuesday and has been declared fit for the second leg of the last-16 tie at Wembley.

The 30-year-old, who scored twice and missed a penalty in last month's 2-2 draw in Turin, missed the Bianconeri's previous two matches with an ankle injury.

His timely return softens the blow of Mandzukic's absence. The Croatia international is battling a thigh problem and was not among the 21-man party that departed for London on Tuesday.
