Modric faces Hammers who welcome back Green

Luka Modric was named in Tottenham’s starting line-up against West Ham at Upton Park this afternoon after making a speedy recovery from the leg injury he suffered against West Brom two weeks ago.

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp made 10 changes from the team which lost to Arsenal in the Carling Cup in midweek, with Dutch star midfielder Rafael van der Vaart returning as well as Peter Crouch up front.
