King may be fit for semi

Tottenham skipper Ledley King has an outside chance of being fit for the FA Cup semi-final against Portsmouth following a thigh injury.

His availability would be a huge boost to Spurs boss Harry Redknapp as Vedran Corluka (ankle) and Michael Dawson (Achilles) need late checks along with Tom Huddlestone (ankle).

Aaron Lennon (groin) and Jermain Jenas (groin) are out and Kyle Walker and Younes Kaboul are cup-tied. Jonathan Woodgate (groin) and Carlo Cudicini are long-term absentees.

Team (from): Gomes, Alnwick, Corluka, Dawson, Bassong, Assou-Ekotto, King, Livermore, Dervite, Kranjcar, Modric, Palacios, Bentley, Huddlestone, Gudjohnsen, Pavlyuchenko, Defoe, Crouch, Rose, Bostock, Bale.
