Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has revealed that midfielder Wilson Palacios played in the FA Cup sixth round replay win over Fulham despite being troubled by a groin injury.

The 25-year-old Honduras international lasted the full 90 minutes of the 3-1 victory over the Cottagers, despite having seemed certain to sit out the White Hart Lane showdown.

Redknapp commented: "Wilson is as tough as old boots.

"He tore a groin in training the day before the game, the scan showed a tear and the medical people said there was no way he could play.

"He came on the pitch at 3pm before the game, kicked a few balls and said he was okay. It was amazing really.

"That is a good sign at this club. Everyone wants to play rather than sit on the treatment table. If they have a chance they will take it."
