Spur have no Defence

HARRY REDKNAPP insists Spurs will go for the jugular against FC Twente on Wednesday - because he hardly has any fit defenders.

Tottenham have just two fully-fit centre-backs - Sebastien Bassong and Vedran Corluka - ahead of the Champions League clash at White Hart Lane.

Ledley King remains a doubt with his ongoing knee problems, Michael Dawson is out with ankle trouble and Younes Kaboul has a calf injury.

On top of this William Gallas has groin trouble and perennial crock Jonathan Woodgate is close to retiring.

Boss Redknapp will try to hammer the Dutch champions - who were managed by former England chief Steve McClaren last year - with an attacking line-up as he tries to ease away from the pack in Group A. Redknapp said: "We have to go for it. Winning the game is all-important and it will set us up nicely.

"The group is wide open with one point each. Inter Milan are obviously the favourites but after that, it's wide open. At home, our crowd are pumped up. It will be an intimidating atmosphere, just like it was in the qualifier against Young Boys. We attacked and got after them from the start.

"That is what we have to do in these European games, especially in this group. In Milan you might set up differently but at home... no.

"I have some concerns at the centre of defence. We've lost some key players through injury - even William Gallas, who I signed on a free from Arsenal, is out until after the next international break.
