Spurs injury crisis
LONDON (AP) — Tottenham's injury problems have got worse since their second defeat of the season left the club bottom of the Premier League.
Striker Dimitar Berbatov has flown to Germany to see a specialist about a persistent groin injury.
"He will be out for a couple of weeks," Tottenham manager Martin Jol said yesterday.
Jol also said centre back Younes Kaboul will miss three to four weeks with a hamstring injury from Tuesday's 3-1 defeat to Everton.
Tottenham are already without its first-choice central defensive partnership — Michael Dawson has ankle ligament damage and captain Ledley King is out until October while recovering from knee surgery. The club's three left backs, Gareth Bale, Benoit Assou-Ekotto and Lee Young-pyo, all have knee injuries.
England midfielder Aaron Lennon also has a knee injury.
l Gabriel Agbonlahor was recalled to the England under-21 team yesterday — three months after being dropped from the squad because the Football Association could not contact him. In May the Aston Villa striker was named in the provisional squad for the under-21 European Championships in the Netherlands, but was withdrawn after failing to confirm his call-up with the FA.
