Tottenham Hotspur v Wigan Athletic (Sun)

Tottenham Hotspur centre-back Ledley King has a hamstring problem and will miss the Barclays Premier League clash against Wigan at White Hart Lane.

England winger Aaron Lennon, however, could be back following an ankle problem suffered before the international break.
Luke Modric (fractured fibula) is still out.

Wigan Athletic defender Erik Edman will face former club Tottenham on Sunday as he continues to deputise at left-back for the injured Maynor Figueroa.

The Swede made his first Premier League start since the end of last season last time out in the draw at Fulham as Figueroa was sidelined with a knee ligament problem and is still at least a week away from recovery.

Honduras midfielder Hendry Thomas missed his flight back from international duty in Central America yesterday but will be back in time to train with the squad tomorrow.

Tottenham Hotspur squad: Gomes, Dawson, Assou-Ekotto, Corluka, Woodgate, Jenas, Huddlestone, Palacios, Keane, Kranjcar, Crouch, Defoe, Alnwick, Hutton, Bentley, Pavlyuchenko, Bale.

Wigan Athletic squad: Kirkland, Edman, Bramble, Scharner, Melchiot, Boyce, N'Zogbia, Diame, Thomas, Scotland, Koumas, Sinclair, Rodallega, Amaya, De Ridder, Pollitt, Cho, Gomez.
