The return of Lennon (official:sky sports!)

[bubble07]

trying to look at it positively when defoe was out towards the back end of last season he started the season fresh and in great form

 

[nedley]

He'll be back. POTL says so.

 

[StanSpur]

unfortunalty that does sound logical. However Harry did say he will be back for the world cup, so unless he is palying mind games with the opposition about whether Lennon can play, it must mean that he will get a couple of games before the end.....luckily on that note City is second to last

Without lennon the remaining games still look birght, heck we have just beaten chelski and arsenal without lennon :hump::grin:

In fact we have won 7 of the last 8 prem games without Lennon. I think it's one of those injuries like Gerrard had early in his career where the docs just can't quite put a finger on the problem. A regular groin injury wouldn't take this long to repair so i can only imagine they haven't/or didn't find the root of the pain very quick. I'd love to see him back but actually think he's not the one Utd will be wary of. Lennon vs Evra is a close call, Bale vs Neville is ours all day long. I'm not too worried about Bolton as we should be fine at home, City and Burnley will be the tough games as we go on our travels. Fingers crossed arsenal will bounce back at city at the weekend and we grab a point then we will be odds on to get 4th

Are you kidding? If there's one player Evra struggles against more than any other, it's Lennon.

 

[llamafarmer]

He's not had the same 'groin problem' as Steed has he?

 

[BringBack_leGin]

Exactly. All the supposedly fast left backs (Evra, Clichy, Cole) seem to regularly have their worst games against Lennon.

That's what people were saying when we played Wolves, Stoke and Hull...

 

[Partizan]

At WHL earlier this season, Evra kept him out of the game the whole 90 minutes by sticking close to him high up the pitch every time and giving him no space to turn and maneuver. It was one of the most dominant performances by an LB on Lennon.

 

[brett.spurs]

Well, one good game in 10 ain't bad I suppose.

+1

 

[kaz Hirai]

i think he's out for the season personally but we could really use him for the trip to city, they just couldnt cope with him last year

 

[spurslenny]

In fairness to Lennon, It's not as if we've exactly missed him over the last 10 mgames or so. That's not to say I don'y want him back asap, I do, but with Bale coming of age recently and the way we've adapted to life without him, his return will be like a new summer signing.

Would love him back in time for the man city game.

"Aaron Lennon is close to a return for Spurs.
Harry Redknapp hopes to be able to name Aaron Lennon as a substitute in Saturday's fixture at Manchester United, but the injury update on Niko Kranjcar is rather more depressing for Spurs. The Croatia midfielder needs an operation to repair his badly damaged ankle and he could see his preparations for next season disrupted."




Good news . Lets hope this happens. I for one want to see Bale on the left and Lennon on the right. 'kin scare the life out of almost any defence.

 

[spurslenny]

good news if true.

 

[brett.spurs]

I hope Niko's injury isn't as bad as that sounds though.

fantastic news if true, the amount of times there has been miles of space on the right due to great work on the left then a switch only to see it passed to corluka and bentley(or kranjar) who delay and pass between themselves until they put in a cross that we seem to never score from or to pass into centre to lose momentum

I have been screaming 'if only it was lennon' as was there he would be runnin into the acres of space to slide the ball across the 6 yard box for a tap in!

Hopefully he will be back now, what a great option to have on the bench either play him if there is a chance of a point/3 with 20mins to go in our 'bonus' united game or save him to give us the impetus to make sure we have no regretful repeats of so called easy home games. Then to have him back to full fitness for the crunch game!

Just hope it is true

 

[BringBack_leGin]

Ditto bails, 'if only Lennon were fit', even during our current great run of form, has become my catch phrase. 20 minutes this weekend, then start v Bolton and hopefully Man City and Burnley, lovely jubbly.

Lennon back in Spurs squad

Redknapp confirms winger has been training fully after groin injury


Harry Redknapp has confirmed Aaron Lennon will be back in the Tottenham Hotspur squad for the trip to Manchester United.
Lennon

has yet to play in 2010 due to a groin injury which has cast doubt over his inclusion in England's squad for the World Cup finals.
He encountered a setback in training earlier this month, but has now recovered to be available for Saturday's game at Old Trafford.
The winger's return will be a timely boost as Spurs look to clinch a UEFA Champions League spot and Redknapp

is delighted to have Lennon back in his plans.
Good news

Redknapp told The Sun: "He trained fully with us this week for the first time since the injury and it's going well.
"He should be on the bench at least and it's great to have Aaron around again, not only for Tottenham but for England, too. It's good news."
Meanwhile, Spurs have confirmed the club will embark on a pre-season training camp in the United States ahead of the next campaign.
Spurs will face their partner club San Jose

Earthquakes in a friendly on Saturday 17th July before taking part in the 2010 New York Football Challenge.
The tournament also involves Premier League rivals Manchester City,

New York Red Bulls

and Sporting Lisbon.

Great news looks like we are right LeGin maybe 20mins on saturday then a warm up against Bolton for City

[BringBack_leGin]

I can't help but notice that harry said 'on the bench AT LEAST'
