Cartilage Free Captain: Tottenham Have Injuries, Will Travel (To Birmingham City)
Tottenham isn’t the only team in the English Premier League featuring a walking wounded, but until all the names are listed out, you don’t realize how many Spurs players are down. With the depth of their squad, you forget that players like Jamie O’Hara, Giovani do Santos and Jonathan Woodgate may otherwise figure into Harry Redknapp’s plans. Not this weekend. All of them are out.
That’s something we need not remind the crew at Cartilage Free Captain, SB Nation’s Spurs blog. Kevin McCauley and friends have Tottenham’s injury woes at the forefront of their mind:
We already knew about Tom Huddlestone,Jermaine Jenas, Michael Dawson, and Ledley King. It is likely that none of them will be available, with Jenas and Dawson having a small chance of being fit. Rafael van der Vaart and Younes Kaboul are the new men on the injury table at Spurs, and both are out as well. Besides these six, the injured backups and long term injuries include Robbie Keane, Giovani dos Santos, David Bentley, Jamie O'Hara, and Jonathan Woodgate. In total, 11 Spurs players are either out or doubtful for tomorrow's game.
That game is at Birmingham City, Alex McLeish’s clunky draw machine, one capable of reverting Spurs’ fine run of form. Ahead of tomorrow’s match, Kevin and Cartilage Free Captain take a look at Brum’s chances of doing so with their Birmingham City vs. Tottenham preview.
