There are fears inside of the bar that Lennon competence need to deliberate alternative healing specialists. On tip of the FA Cup fifth-round replay at home to Bolton Wanderers tonight, he is approaching to miss joining matches opposite Everton, Manchester City, Blackburn Rovers and Stoke City.

We miss him, obviously, since he is a illusory player, Redknapp said. Its been an ongoing saga. No one is going to pour out him here. He only keeps removing small setbacks.

Redknapp denied that Lennon was desirous to lapse since he believed that he indispensable to fool around to secure a place in the England patrol for this summers World Cup finals. You could collect ten or twelve players who are certainties in the patrol but after that there is a lot of foe for that position, Redknapp said. As prolonged as he gets sufficient compare movement for us, the World Cup will follow.

The Tottenham physical education instructor competence assign Vedran Corluka with penalty- receiving duties in normal time tonight. Tom Huddlestone was obliged for Tottenhams fourth longed for spot-kick this season, in the initial assembly with Bolton ten days ago. Defoe has longed for twice and Robbie Keane, right away on loan at Celtic, has converted dual and longed for one from the chastisement spot. Niko Kranjcar is the alternative candidate.

Please God we will finish it prior to a chastisement shoot-out, Redknapp said. Youd whim Jermain Defoe to score. Youd think you have an preferred penalty-taker, good finisher, and he competence come behind and take them and take them well again. Hes only had a bit of a blip. Weve been receiving a little penalties at the finish of use sessions and they are attack the behind of the net on a unchanging basis. But the a opposite vigour in a game.

Redknapp pronounced that finishing in the tip 4 was his priority over the FA Cup. It is but I dont wish to put that in the players minds [and] they begin meditative that the crater is not important, he said.
