Trio missing for Spurs

Tottenham will be without David Bentley (ankle), Jamie O’Hara (back) and Jonathan Woodgate (groin) for their opening Barclays Premier League game against Manchester City.

Danny Rose (thigh strain) is doubtful but manager Harry Redknapp is hopeful that Ledley King will be fit to start, providing his suspect knee suffered no reaction to today’s training session.
