Hamstring injury for Defoe

Jermain Defoe has picked up a hamstring injury and has emerged as the latest concern for Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp.

Spurs are already without Ledley King, Aaron Lennon, David Bentley, Tom Huddlestone and Jermain Jenas for this weekend's FA Cup quarter-final at Fulham.

Redknapp said: "He had it before the England game on Wednesday then felt it afterwards."

Redknapp upset the odds against Manchester United in the last eight of the competition two seasons ago and accepts it will require another backs-to-the-wall display to get past Roy Hodgson's men, given his selection problems.

Younes Kaboul and Kyle Walker are cup-tied, so Andros Townsend and Jake Livermore have been recalled from loans to help with numbers.

"It's quite easy to pick the team at the moment because I think we've got about 12 fit players," Redknapp said. "We'll have to play people out of position but we've still got 11 very good players."

Jenas underwent an operation in Germany this week, while Huddlestone's foot is in a protective boot and he needs another scan before it is known how long he will be out.

Lennon's injury is also worrying as he has not played since December and a comeback date has not been set, with the winger given the instructions to rest for six weeks.

"It'll take a bit of time," said Redknapp, assessing Lennon's recovery.
