England duo in line for Spurs return

England pair Paul Robinson and Jermaine Jenas are stepping up their comebacks from injury and could be considered for Tottenham’s Barclays Premiership clash against Watford.

Robinson has been out with a thigh problem and Jenas with a groin complaint, both missing the midweek UEFA Cup win over SC Braga.

Didier Zokora (toe) is a concern, Anthony Gardner (fractured fibula), Ledley King (knee) and Benoit Assou-Ekotto (knee) are out, but Teemu Tainio (calf) could return.

Provisional squad: Robinson, Cerny, Alnwick, Chimbonda, Stalteri, Young-Pyo Lee, Rocha, Dawson, Tainio, Jenas, Huddlestone, Malbranque, Lennon, Ghaly, Taarabt, C Lee, Berbatov, Mido, Defoe, Keane.
