Tottenham winger Aaron Lennon is to see a specialist in Europe on
Thursday as he looks to resolve his long-term groin injury.
Lennon has been out of action since December after picking up
the injury in the 2-0 win over West Ham.
Spurs boss Harry Redknapp was hoping to have the England
international back in action last month, but Lennon faces a further
spell on the sidelines after suffering a setback in training
earlier this week.
Redknapp is unsure when the 22-year-old will be able to
return and he admitted the ongoing problem was a major blow for the
player and club.
"He is seeing a specialist on Thursday," said Redknapp,
speaking after Tottenham's 4-0 FA Cup replay win over Bolton on
Wednesday. "We just hope we get some good news from Aaron.
"He is going to see somebody abroad and hopefully we can get
somebody who can get to the bottom of the problem for him because
he is desperate to play.
"It's a shame for him and it's a shame for us. We all miss
him, he is a fantastic player."
