Ledley King is out of the frame for tomorrow night's (Wednesday, February 3) FA Cup replay at Leeds United.
The central defender played two games in the space of five days against Fulham and Birmingham City and will not be considered for Elland Road.
Ledley joins the likes of Aaron Lennon (groin) and Benoit Assou-Ekotto (hip) on the sidelines with longer-term injuries Jonathan Woodgate (groin) and Carlo Cudicini (pelvis, wrist).
Roman Pavlyuchenko remains a doubt with a groin injury.
Harry reported on Tuesday. "Ledley's not fit for tomorrow but could be okay for the weekend.
"Pav has still got a problem with his groin, he's not 100 per cent right at the moment but hopefully he'll be okay.
"Aaron Lennon's still not fit, Benoit's still not ready, so we're one or two down in terms of numbers but it will be an opportunity for a couple of youngsters to come and sit on the bench.
"I will speak to John McDermott (Academy Manager) and Alex Inglethorpe (U18s coach) to see what players deserve that opportunity."

Of the new recruits, Eidur Gudjohnsen is not available for the replay because he didn't play in the original fourth round tie against Leeds. However, he will be available if we progress.
Meanwhile, both Younes Kaboul and Kyle Walker are cup-tied having played in the competition for Portsmouth and Sheffield United respectively.

Hopefully Pav is fit then because we'll be short on strikers.

Hope to see Bostock on the bench and be a sub.

I hadn't heard of that rule before... a bit of a strange one. If Defoe or Crouch pick up a knock we might have to go 5 in midfield since Pav seems to be unlikely to be available.

Same;

Maybe play one striker ahead,with Bentley, Modric and Krancjar behind then?

It would be nice to see Obika and Bostock get a chance from the bench tonight. Also wouldn't mind Pav getting a game if he is fit which hopefully he will be.

It will be a tough game at there ground and there yobs, I mean fans cheering them on. It's also going to be very cold which is never good lol.

True, it's friggin freezing & icy up here and is set to get worse: snow from about 6pm..... it'll be an interesting game whatever happens!
A few leeds fans i've spoken to were gutted about the replay and wanted out so the team could focus on the league..... but most probably see glory in the fa cup and getting a premier league scalp.

Ahh, so we still have Kyle Walker to cover and provide competition at the RB position, then?

[contrast]

Yeah, we got him back yesterday. Don't think many people know this as they still keep banging on about us not having cover for Charlie . . .

[makap]

Niko is ready?
