Redknapp lists injury concerns ahead of Tottenham clash with Arsenal

Harry Redknapp is hoping a trio of first team players will be available again for Tottenham's clash with rivals Arsenal.

Emmanuel Adebayor, Benoit Assou-Ekotto and Luka Modric were all missing on Sunday as Spurs were held to a goalless draw by Stevenage in the FA Cup.

Danny Rose and Jake Livermore came into the side at the Lamex Stadium, while Jermain Defoe partnered Louis Saha in attack.

Redknapp revealed Adebayor had picked up a knee injury in training and Assou-Ekotto was recovering from an operation, with Luka Modric suffering a fever, though all three are expected to be fit for Sunday's game.

"Benoit had a small operation at the start of the week," Redknapp told reporters. "Adebayor did his knee on Friday morning, he twisted it.

"We thought he might have opened his ligament up, but it's not too bad and then Luka had an unbelievable temperature. He was really ill."

Tottenham can extend their lead over Arsenal to 13 points in the Premier League with a victory at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

The Gunners, who were eliminated from the FA Cup by Sunderland on Saturday, currently sit fourth with an identical record to Chelsea.
