Konchesky gets Cup clearance

Paul Konchesky has been given the all-clear to play in Tottenham’s Carling Cup clash against West Ham at White Hart Lane tomorrow.

Konchesky has made an impression during his loan spell from Charlton – with Chris Perry having gone to The Valley – and Addicks boss Alan Curbishley is happy to allow him to be cup-tied.

Spurs caretaker David Pleat will wait on the fitness of Mauricio Taricco and Darren Anderton, who both suffered knocks against Middlesbrough on Sunday, before naming his team.

Provisional squad: Keller, Carr, Richards, Taricco, Gardner, Blondel, Ricketts, Anderton, Keane Postiga, Zamora, Dalmat, Konchesky, Bunjevcevic, Poyet, Doherty, Ziege, Jackson, Mabizela, Burch.
