LONDON: Tottenham Hotspur defender Ledley King’s groin operation has had to be delayed until next week after the former England player lost his passport.
“He should have had his operation today,” manager Harry Redknapp told the London Evening Standard after Spurs beat Blackburn Rovers 1-0 at Ewood Park on Wednesday night.
“He couldn’t make it. Why? It’s a long story. (It’s) next week now,” he added. “He couldn’t find his passport, so he couldn’t fly out to have it done. He mislaid it.
“He was going to see a lady in Germany,” added the frustrated Spurs boss.
Tottenham have an injury crisis in defence and midfield with Younes Kaboul not due to return to training for four weeks after surgery on his right knee and Michael Dawson suspended.
Jonathan Woodgate is just getting back to fitness after a groin injury that has kept him out for more than a year while captain William Gallas has been struggling with a hip problem.
