Tottenham troubled by growing injury list

Tottenham will have to make due without a number of key players in tomorrow's UEFA Cup game against Anderlecht. King, Rocha and Assou-Ekotto, Bale and Kaboul are out due to injury or poor form.


Tottenham will have to face Anderlecht without their captain Ledley King. The defender underwent surgery a few months ago and is still training with the reserve squad.

The same goes for Assou-Ekotto who will be out for the remainder of the season due to knee surgery. Richardo Rocha is out with an ankle injury.

Left back Gareth Bale has been ruled out due to a foot injury, whilst Younes Kaboul is not travelling to Brussels with the team, sparking rumours of a falling out with Tottenham coach Ramos.

Striker Defoe, on the other hand, has recovered from a flu attack. Jermaine Jenas is also back from an ankle injury.
