Spurs wait on Jenas

Tottenham are hopeful midfielder Jermaine Jenas will return from an abdominal strain for the Premier League clash at Liverpool on Sunday.

Dimitar Berbatov and Pascal Chimbonda were rested for the midweek UEFA Cup tie with Anorthosis Famagusta and are set to return, while Aaron Lennon had swelling on his knee but it is not thought to be serious.

Ricardo Rocha has had surgery on his ankle and will be out for more than two months, while Ledley King is still recovering from knee surgery. Teemu Tainio is available again after suspension.

Provisional squad: Robinson, Cerny, Chimbonda, Stalteri, Lee, Bale, Assou-Ekotto, Dawson, Gardner, Kaboul, Huddlestone, Zokora, Jenas, Lennon, Malbranque, Tainio, Boateng, Taarabt, Berbatov, Keane, Defoe, Bent.
