Bassong in fitness check

Tottenham centre-back Sebastien Bassong will have a late fitness test ahead of the Barclays Premier League clash against Burnley following head and knee injuries against Chelsea last week.

Fellow defenders Ledley King (hamstring) and Jonathan Woodgate (groin) are sidelined for the match at White Hart Lane but Michael Dawson (Achilles) is available after playing at Preston in midweek.

Giovani dos Santos (ankle) joins Luka Modric (fractured fibula) and Roman Pavlyuchenko (Achilles) in the treatment room.

Provisional squad: Gomes, Cudicini, Walker, Hutton, Bassong, Bale, Assou-Ekotto, Corluka, Dervite, Dawson, Bentley, Huddlestone, Lennon, Jenas, Palacios, Naughton, Kranjcar, Rose, Keane, Crouch, Defoe.
