King injury blow for Spurs

Tottenham skipper Ledley King has been ruled out for another six to eight weeks with his bruised foot and will miss Sunday’s Barclays Premiership clash against Manchester United.

Aaron Lennon was ruled out of the midweek defeat to Arsenal through illness but is fit, and Dimitar Berbatov could return following a groin injury.

Jermaine Jenas has picked up a knock to his ankle but it expected to be fit, while Teemu Tainio (throat infection) is still ruled out and Mido is suspended.

Provisional squad: Robinson, Cerny, Alnwick, Chimbonda, Lee, Assou-Ekotto, Dawson, Gardner, Rocha, Lennon, Ghaly, Malbranque, Huddlestone, Zokora, Jenas, Keane, Berbatov, Defoe, Murphy.
