Tottenham winger Aaron Lennon could miss England's friendly against Brazil later this month.[LNB]Lennon has not played since spraining his ankle during Spurs' 1-0 home defeat by Stoke two weeks ago and has yet to resume training.[LNB]He has recently forced his way into the starting line-up for his country after a series of impressive displays on the right for Spurs, but the 22-year-old's ankle problem means he is unlikely to be present when Fabio Capello's side take on the five-times world champions in Qatar.[LNB]Lennon could return against Wigan on November 22, but playmaker Luka Modric is still some way from a return after fracturing a fibula against Birmingham in late August.[LNB]Striker Jermain Defoe will be available again after suspension for the visit of Sunderland this weekend but defender Sebastien Bassong faces up to five weeks on the sidelines after damaging his hamstring against Arsenal.
