Injury blows for Davids and Keane

Last updated : 15 August 2005 By Alistair Murray

New signing Davids picked up a knee injury in a collision on the training ground and missed the opportunity to make his Premiership debut in Tottenham’s 2-0 win at Portsmouth on the opening weekend of the season.

Although Robbie Keane will miss out on playing for the Republic of Ireland in midweek after twisting his ankle in training Jol hasn’t ruled out a recovery ahead of Tottenham’s first home game of the new Premiership campaign against Middlesbrough this Saturday.
