Christian Ziege - back in the squad.
The German international left-back missed last weeks game at Manchester United with a back problem but reported no ill effects on his return to training this week.

However, despite some good news on the injury front for once, Spurs boss Glenn Hoddle is still without 12 first team players for the visit of in-form Boro.

Gary Doherty should continue in defence with Chris Perry, Ledley King, Alton Thelwell and Anthony Gardner all injured, while Les Ferdinand and Milenko Acimovic, who were both on the bench at Old Trafford, will be hoping for places in Hoddle's starting line-up.

Spurs Squad: Keller, Hirschfeld, Bunjevcevic, Doherty, Richards, Thatcher, Davies, Etherington, Redknapp, Ziege, Acimovic, Ferdinand, Iversen, Sheringham, Keane, Blondel, Ricketts.
