Spurs bring strong squad

Spurs will be bring a full strength squad for tonights Carling Cup tie at Boundary Park. Missing from the squad will be Thimothee Atouba, Erik Edman and Noureddine Naybet who are all suffering through injury, although none of them are serious. Thimothee picked up a knock at Chelsea on Sunday but coach Chris Hughton said of the others, “There is no big injury doubt with either of them. In effect, it's little knocks and we felt they would benefit from having the extra day's rest. We're certainly not too concerned about injury problems on top of the two or three we already have out."

Looking at the squad we're taking it's giving Oldham the respect they deserve. For us, it's a good opportunity to make progress in the competition but that's not taking anything away from the fact that it will be a difficult game. They are at home in front of a passionate crowd and they will see it as the chance to put one over a Premiership side.”
