Jenas doubtful for Man City clash

Midfielder Jermaine Jenas is a doubt for Tottenham Hotspur’s Premier League game with Manchester City tomorrow as he is struggling to recover from food poisoning.

The England international returned to training today but is a major doubt for Harry Redknapp’s side who will also be without Ledley King (knee), Jonathan Woodgate (groin) and Carlo Cudicini (wrist and pelvis).

Redknapp confirmed that Luka Modric (leg), who has not started a game since August, will be on the bench while Roman Pavlyuchenko and David Bentley are also in contention despite being left out of Saturday’s squad.

Tottenham Hotspur (from): Gomes, Alnwick, Dawson, Assou-Ekotto, Bale, Corluka, Bassong, Huddlestone, Lennon, Kranjcar, Jenas, Palacios, Hutton, Crouch, Defoe, Bentley, Keane, Pavlyuchenko, Giovani, Modric.
