Fresh blow for Lennon

(GSM) – Tottenham winger Aaron Lennon has suffered a fresh injury setback in training. His World Cup hopes have now taken a further blow as there is now just over a month until England manager Fabio Capello picks his initial World Cup party.

The Tottenham winger has not played this year due to a groin strain and Capello has already made it clear that he will not take a player to South Africa unless he is fully fit.

Spurs manager Harry Redknapp confirmed Lennon suffered the injury during a training session. Redknapp is hopeful Lennon will be fit again to play with Spurs and at the World Cup.

“He trained on Monday and had a bit of a setback again,” confirmed Spurs boss Harry Redknapp.

“Hopefully he’ll be fit for the World Cup – I hope he’s fit to play for Tottenham first and foremost.

“He’s sore again. He’s come out in training and felt a bit sore after. So I don’t know.

“We just have to keep our fingers crossed but it’s been a long time.”
