Berbs and Kaboul injuries hit Spurs

Berbatov has suffered a recurrence of an old groin injury and will be unavailable for two weeks, while defender Kaboul faces a possible month out of action with a hamstring strain. Spurs have endured a poor start after losing their opening game to Sunderland and then crashing 3-1 at home to Everton on Tuesday night. Manager Martin Jol also has a burgeoning injury list to consider, with Berbatov and Kaboul joining Ledley King, Michael Dawson, Aaron Lennon, Gareth Bale and Lee Young-Pyo on the sidelines. "We've had a couple more blows," said Jol. "Younes Kaboul will be out for the next three or four weeks with the hamstring injury he suffered against Everton, that's a real kick in the teeth and Dimitar Berbatov has a groin problem. "It's an old problem and he will now visit a specialist in Germany. He will be out for a couple of weeks." However, Jol is optimistic he will soon be able to select Young-Pyo and Bale. "Gareth Bale is looking better," Jol added. "Our medical team have also told me that Young-Pyo Lee is up to 85 per cent fitness and that will soon be 100 per cent."
