African duo absent for Spurs

Tottenham are without striker Mido and defender Noureddine Naybet for the trip to Leicester in the FA Cup third round on Sunday.

Both players are away on international duty with Egypt and Morocco respectively ahead of the African Nations Cup which starts later this month.

Spurs are also without the services of left-back Lee Young-Pyo, who was carried off with a knee injury during their midweek Premiership win over Manchester City.

Andy Reid (knee) remains absent while there are further doubts over Edgar Davids (ankle) and Teemu Tainio (virus). England defender Ledley King is also missing because of a groin injury.

Provisional squad: Robinson, Cerny, Stalteri, Gardner, Dawson, Gardner, Pamarot, Carrick, Jenas, Brown, Mendes, Lennon, Routledge, Defoe, Keane, Rasiak, Tainio, Davids.
