Kaboul left behind as Spurs out to make vital point

YOUNES KABOUL’S future at Tottenham appears less certain after he stayed at home for the UEFA Cup clash against Anderlecht in Belgium, despite a shortage of defenders for Juande Ramos.

Kaboul arrived from Auxerre this summer in a deal valued upwards of £8million (€11.1m) but has looked shaky at centre-back, and he has made costly errors in his last two appearances.

Head coach Ramos has centre-backs Ledley King, Ricardo Rocha and Anthony Gardner on the sidelines but will field a makeshift defence at the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium today rather than include Kaboul for a match where a draw will confirm Spurs’ place in the knockout stages.
