Duo to return for Bolton clash

"We need tests Ben Thatcher and Mauricio Taricco and, unfortunately, Les Ferdinand has got a slight back problem. He picked it up in the reserves and hasn't trained since," Glenn Hoddle told the Spurs official website

"Those three are the doubts, but they are not ruled out at this moment. Taricco is still struggling with the groin injury, while Ben has a bad back which has returned from a few months back.

"The good news is that Stephen Carr and Gus Poyet rejoin the squad and we've got a much heathier look in training with Clemence, Anderton, Ledley King and Anthony Gardner all having had a week's work.

"Hopefully we can move them on to matches in the coming weeks."
