Tottenham defender William Gallas will miss Sunday’s Barclays Premier League game at Liverpool with a calf injury which looks to have ended his season.
Ledley King could feature at Anfield, though, after making a successful comeback from his groin problem during a reserves match in midweek.
Gareth Bale (ankle), Benoit Assou-Ekotto (hamstring), Heurelho Gomes (back) and Jermaine Jenas (thigh) are definitely out.
Provisional squad: Cudicini, Pletikosa, Bassong, Dawson, Kaboul, Lennon, Kranjcar, Pienaar, Sandro, Modric, Jenas, Rose, Kranjcar, Van der Vaart, Defoe, Pavlyuchenko, Crouch.
