English FA CUP News :: Harry Redknapp says Tottenham will field strongest possible side in FA Cup

Posted on 2009-01-24 by Gooner

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp says he will pick the "best team available" for his side's FA Cup fourth-round tie away to Manchester United on Saturday.

He had been criticised for claiming after the game at Burnley on Wednesday that injuries would force him to send a weakened team to Manchester.

However, on Friday he insisted: "We're not taking a reserve team. Everyone who is fit, will play." But he added the injuries made it "very difficult" to field his strongest team.

Tottenham's injury list could make a starting line-up in itself, with 11 players set to miss out.

Definitely missing are Heurelho Gomes (thigh), Vedran Corluka (groin), Ledley King (hamstring), Aaron Lennon (groin), Jermaine Jenas (calf), Darren Bent (groin), Jamie O'Hara (hip) and Alan Hutton (foot).

Spurs also have concerns over Jonathan Woodgate (back) and Luka Modric (back, hamstring), while Michael Dawson has "about four different injuries" that could rule him out.
