Injuries could halt Spurs CL place chase

LONDON - Harry Redknapp, the Tottenham manager, fears injuries to midfield players could hamper his side's bid to qualify for the Champions League for the first time.

The Londoners remain on course to do just that thanks to a 2-1 victory over Everton at White Hart Lane, with Russia striker Roman Pavlyuchenko and Croatia playmaker Luka Modric the men on target.

That lifted them above Manchester City and into fourth place courtesy of a superior goal difference.
