'Ledley's problem is he can't do it on Saturday and midweek; but we've got no more midweek games, so I may well get Ledley available every week which would be a big boost.'[LNB]King has already doubled the 10 appearances he made last season but his absences led to Redknapp retaining the centre back as club captain and giving Robbie Keane the armband as team captain.[LNB]Keane's goal at Sunderland at the weekend edged Spurs closer to safety - but he feels a big club could get relegated this season.[LNB]'There are loads of them and there are some really big teams that can easily get relegated like Newcastle,' said the Irishman.
