Robbie Keane is set to retain the Tottenham captaincy despite being
said to have organised the Christmas party that infuriated Harry
Redknapp.
Spurs boss Redknapp held a meeting with the players involved
in the trip to Dublin nearly two weeks ago and it is understood the
matter was resolved amicably, with a donation being made to charity
as a result.
Keane's leadership has been put under scrutiny as a result
but the captaincy was not thought to be an issue during Redknapp's
meeting.
The Spurs boss was embarrassed as he had no knowledge of the
party and days afterwards warned about clubs sanctioning festive
celebrations.
Since the party Spurs lost to Wolves but bounced back with
wins against Manchester City and Blackburn.
Keane was on the bench for the two wins, with Michael Dawson
taking the armband.
Dawson has been praised by goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes for his
part in a solid back four.
Gomes said: "They are unbelievable.
"They give me so much confidence," he continued.
"They work so hard. Michael Dawson is an unbelievable player,
Benoit (Assou-Ekotto) on the left, Charlie (Vedran Corluka) on the
right, Sebastien Bassong, they are in such good form at the
moment."
