Tottenham's Jermain Defoe out with Foot Injury
Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe will be out for up to 10 weeks with a stress fracture to his right foot, ruling him out of the Carling Cup final against Manchester United.
The 26-year-old England international missed Tottenham's win in the competition last February because he joined Portsmouth. He then missed his new club's FA Cup final triumph in May because he was cup-tied.
"Following further scans and examination, Jermain Defoe will undergo surgery tomorrow after suffering a stress fracture in his right foot," Spurs said Monday. "Early detection has allowed the club to opt for the best long-term treatment."
Defoe, who rejoined Spurs early in January from Pompey, picked up the injury, to his fifth metatarsal, during an indoor training session on the eve of Saturday's 3-2 loss at Bolton.
Manager Harry Redknapp brought Robbie Keane back to Spurs on Monday from Liverpool to bolster the strike force. But the Ireland striker is also cup-tied for the Carling Cup final on March 1 after playing just three minutes in the League Cup for Liverpool in September.
Tottenham is 14th in the 20-team Premier League, just one point above the three-team relegation zone.
