Blackburn v Tottenham

Blackburn v Tottenham April 04 2008

Tottenham will have midfielder Jermaine Jenas available for Saturday's trip to Blackburn following illness.

Defender Younes Kaboul has recovered from a dead leg, however captain Ledley King will not feature for the remainder of the season as he continues his rehabilitation from a knee problem.

Gareth Bale (foot) and Benoit Assou-Ekotto (knee) are long-term injuries.

Defenders Brett Emerton and Christopher Samba return to Blackburn's squad.

Emerton has been troubled by a groin strain, which has limited him to just 45 minutes of first-team action in the last month, but he returned to full training this week.

Meanwhile, Samba is available again following a one-match ban which ruled him out of Saturday's goalless draw at Reading and joins a full-strength squad as Mark Hughes' side looks to sustain their push for Europe.

Teams:

Blackburn (from): Friedel, Emerton, Ooijer, Samba, Nelsen, Khizanishvili, Warnock, Bentley, Reid, Dunn, Pedersen, Santa Cruz, Roberts, McCarthy, Derbyshire, Vogel, Mokoena, Tugay, Brown.

Tottenham (from): Robinson, Hutton, Dawson, Woodgate, O'Hara, Huddlestone, Zokora, Malbranque, Keane Berbatov, Bent, Cerny, Jenas, Kaboul, Chimbonda, Tainio, Lennon, Taarabt.
