King cautious after injury

Published August 17, 2008

LONDON, Aug 16: Tottenham Hotspur captain Ledley King remains cautious about whether he can play a full part this season after returning from another long injury lay-off.

“I think we’ll have to see if I can play regularly, I don’t see why I shouldn’t be able to play in all the games. The proof will be in the pudding but hopefully I’ll be fine,” King said. The 27-year-old England defender has declared himself fit to lead the north Londoners out at Middlesbrough in their opening game of the Premier League season on Saturday.

But he has not featured that often in the build-up to the new campaign after suffering a serious knee injury last term.—Reuters
