Keane still out in the cold

ROBBIE KEANE returns to Tottenham’s squad tonight for the Champions League decider against Young Boys but is likely to suffer frustration again by being kept on the bench.

It is a situation that has led to Keane being linked with a move away from White Hart Lane before the transfer window closes, although a planned groin operation for Jermain Defoe complicates matters for the Republic of Ireland captain.

Defoe goes under the knife on Monday and it puts Keane in the frame for a rare run of games, given he has replaced the England international from the bench twice in his two appearances this season.
