Defensive Injury Worries Increase

Last updated : 21 September 2009 By Sam

Ledley King and Sebastien Bassong both had to be substituted with injuries during the away defeat at Chelsea on Sunday and manager Harry Redknapp isa already without another pair of centre-backs in Jonathan Woodgate (groin) and Michael Dawson (Achilles) through injury.

King sustained a hamstring injury during the 3-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge whilst Bassong suffered a head injury.

"Ledley has done a hamstring," Redknapp has said.

"Bassong is not in a very good way at all but we will have to see how he is.

"I've lost all four centre-backs. I've got none."
