Woodgate set for return

Tottenham's mounting injury problems in defence mean that Jonathan Woodgate could make his first appearance for 14 months in the Barclays Premier League game at Blackburn. Woodgate has been out with a long-standing groin injury but he may have to start given that Ledley King (groin), Younes Kaboul (knee) and Michael Dawson (suspension) are definitely out and William Gallas is struggling with a hip injury. Wilson Palacios has recovered from a knee injury but Gareth Bale (back) and Tom Huddlestone (ankle) remain sidelined.
