Late decision on Defoe

Striker Jermain Defoe was back in full training today and Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp will decide tomorrow whether to pitch him in against Bolton wearing a protective dressing on his two dislocated fingers.

Ledley King is still recovering from a hamstring injury while Roman Pavlyuchenko (Achilles) is back in full training but will not feature at the Reebok.

Luka Modric is no longer wearing the protective boot on his fractured fibula and has begun active rehabilitation, while Jonathan Woodgate (groin) hopes to return to training in two weeks’ time.

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