Adam banned for Tottenham clash

Blackpool captain Charlie Adam will miss Sunday’s Barclays Premier League clash with Tottenham through suspension after collecting his fifth booking of the season last weekend.

David Vaughan and Craig Cathcart will undergo late fitness tests after sustaining ankle and knee problems respectively in training.

Goalkeeper Mark Halstead has been ill and the Seasiders may ask permission for Paul Rachubka, who is not part of their current 25-man squad, to be named on the bench as cover for Richard Kingson.

Provisional squad: Kingson, Eardley, Cathcart, Crainey, Evatt, Vaughan, Varney, Taylor-Fletcher, Campbell, Grandin, Phillips, Edwards, Carney, Euell, Sylvestre, Keinan, Southern, Ormerod, Halstead, Baptiste
