Hoddle to decide on duo

Tottenham manager Glenn Hoddle has to decide whether to send Steffen Freund and Mauricio Taricco back into action at Blackburn on Sunday after their successful comebacks in the Worthington Cup win over Cardiff.

Taricco, free now from a groin problem, is the most likely starter of the pair at Ewood Park but Freund, who had knee ligament surgery in January, could be on the bench provided Jamie Redknapp (ankle) is fit to return.
