Soccer: Campbell worry for Spurs

Captain Sol Campbell is Tottenham’s main injury concern ahead of Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final against Arsenal, with a decision on his fitness likely to be left to the last possible minute.

Campbell - who has an ankle ligament strain - is rated only 50-50, but may still start the game, while Sergei Rebrov is fit with Ledley King and Stephen Clemence also expected to recover from injury in time.

Stephen Carr, Tim Sherwood and Oyvind Leonhardsen are all free of injury, but short of match-fitness and boss Glenn Hoddle may be forced to take a gamble on at least one of them in his starting line-up.

Despite Spurs’ fitness worries, the only players definitely ruled out at this stage are long-term absentees Darren Anderton, Ben Thatcher, Chris Armstrong and Mauricio Taricco.

Team (from): Sullivan, Walker, Carr, Young, Perry, Campbell, King, Thelwell, Doherty, Clemence, Freund, Sherwood, Leonhardsen, Davies, Etherington, Korsten, Gardner, Rebrov, Iversen, Ferdinand.
