Corluka set to miss Pompey clash

Tottenham right-back Vedran Corluka has an ankle injury and is likely to miss tomorrow’s Barclays Premier League clash against Portsmouth at White Hart Lane.

Kyle Walker also has an ankle complaint but may be fit to deputise, while Sebastien Bassong (ankle) will be checked on the eve of the game and Roman Pavlyuchenko (hamstring) may only be ready for the bench.

Wilson Palacios has an adductor problem and will also need assessment. Ledley King (thigh), Jonathan Woodgate (groin), Jermaine Jenas (groin), Jermain Defoe (hamstring) and Aaron Lennon (groin) are out.

Provisional squad: Gomes, Alnwick, Walker, Palacios, Dawson, Bassong, Kaboul, Assou-Ekotto, Dervite, Bale, Huddlestone, Modric, Kranjcar, Bentley, Gudjohnsen, Pavlyuchenko, Crouch, Rose, Livermore, Townsend.
