Spurs captain King ready to return to action

ENGLAND defender Ledley King is on the brink of a return to action, according to Tottenham coach Martin Jol.

The club have three friendlies lined-up during a training camp in France and Jol insists King has a great chance of playing in them.

King has been a regular visitor to Spurs Lodge over the summer and is almost back to full fitness after fracturing a metatarsal against Everton in April. That injury ruled him out of the crucial final four matches of the Premiership campaign and England’s World Cup squad.
