Spurs boss Harry Redknapp has revealed that flying winger Aaron Lennon could return in 12 days time for the visit to Wigan.
Speaking ahead of the Premier League match with Wolves tomorrow night, Redknapp said: "He could possibly be back the weekend after next but it's difficult to say. It's really up to him to see how he feels and how the fitness coaches and physios see him. We won't rush him back until we're sure he's right."
Tottenham travel to Wolves without captain Ledley King which could see Sebastien Bassong return to the centre of defence or Younes Kaboul come in for his first game since returning from Portsmouth.
Roman Pavlyuchenko returns to the Spurs squad after a groin problem but Benoit Assou Ekotto remains out, although like Lennon the left back is making progress.
The Tottenham manager backed his side to break into the top four after they slid down the league due to a 0-0 draw with Aston Villa on Saturday.
Redknapp: "We have been in great form. We have had one defeat in 12 games now. I can't complain. We have been good to watch. We have played some great football. Everyone is at the peak of their form so we have got a big chance still. There is no guarantee we are going to make it, it is going to be difficult we know that. Liverpool are back in. At the start of the year nobody would have seen them outside the top four so it is going to be hard to finish above them to start with. But we are in there with a chance, which is good."
