King did not try to injure Ljungberg - Hoddle

Tottenham manager Glenn Hoddle has dismissed suggestions Ledley King deliberately set out to injure Arsenal midfielder Freddie Ljungberg during Saturday’s north London derby at Highbury.

King, who was yesterday called up to Sven-Goran Eriksson’s senior get-together in Hertfordshire, made his first appearance of the season in Saturday’s 3-0 defeat after recovering from a hip problem.
