1. Younes Kaboul: The New Ledley King?
Younes Kaboul spent the entirety of last season out with a knee injury. Just when he was due to make his initial comeback, he suffered a setback and, now that he's back in the first team squad, he's already suffered another one - having been forced to come off against Anzhi. His knee injury was so serious that it looks as though it's going to have an ongoing effect for the rest of his career - picking up niggling injuries on a regular basis like his former defensive partner Ledley King. Fortunately, this one doesn't look too serious, with Andre Villas-Boas having this to say on the matter:
"It's a bit of a problem because of his injury in the knee it has taken him time for his body to adapt to new positions on his run. "Because of that he's putting extra strain on his muscles and keeps getting small contractions that limit him finishing the games. At the moment it doesn't look very serious but it will force him to stop for a week or so. "When we get him back we will give him a one-week or two-week preparation to be physically better."
So he won't be out for long, but it looks as though it might be the first of many injuries to come in the next few months. What did you learn from Spurs' 2-0 victory in Russia against Anzhi? Let us know in the comments box below. And please feel free to follow me on
