Spurs and England suffer Defoe blow

Defoe could be seen on crutches and wearing a protective boot on his right foot at Spurs' training ground on Thursday. "Even if it's a bad sprain, you're still talking about six weeks or so, because it's a nasty one," Spurs manager Harry Redknapp said. Defoe was hurt in England's 3-1 victory over Switzerland on Tuesday, just days after Tottenham team-mate Michael Dawson suffered a knee injury in the England win over Bulgaria that will rule him out for eight weeks.
