Kanoute a possibility for Jol

Tottenham striker Fredi Kanoute could return to the starting line-up for tomorrow’s clash with Barclays Premiership leaders Chelsea at White Hart Lane.

The Mali international missed the goalless draw at Manchester United and the FA Cup win over Brighton with a hamstring injury, and head coach Martin Jol will give his striker a late fitness before making a decision.

Jol will again be without Rohan Ricketts, who missed the last week’s cup game after damaging his knee ligaments in training last Friday, and the midfielder could be out for six weeks.

Team from: Robinson, Edman, King, Gardner, Kelly, Ziegler, Mendes, Carrick, Brown, Keane, Defoe, Kanoute, Fulop, Pamarot, Yeates, Ifil, Marney, Naybet, Bunjevcevic.
