Tottenham goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini will not be forced to retire following his horror motorbike accident, according to manager Harry Redknapp.

Cudicini, 36, is facing a long road back to recovery after fracturing both of his wrists and injuring his pelvis in a crash earlier this month.

But despite fears that the former Chelsea shot-stopper will never return to professional football, Redknapp fully expects to see Cudicini make a full recovery.

However, he does not expect the veteran Italian to play again this season.

"He faces a long, hard road back from this but I think he is going to play again and he is convinced of it," he told The Sun.

"He will be on crutches for about 12 weeks. I can't imagine he'll play again this season and most of his early rehab work will have to be done at home.

"Carlo was in good spirits for someone who has been through a trauma like this. But he is a strong character and a fantastic professional.

"We have a few keepers on our books. But I am not sure what we will do at present. There has been speculation linking us with several keepers but they are pretty much no-goers."
