Kranjcar has damaged knee ligaments and the Croatian needs an operation which will keep him out of Tottenham's final five matches of the campaign. Harry Redknapp, the Tottenham manager, said: "The courage he showed was amazing to play on. He'll need a nasty operation."Kranjcar's absence will be a major blow to Redknapp as he tries to steer Tottenham into the Champions League for the first time. Spurs beat Arsenal 2-1 on Wednesday without the winger and he will also be absent when they entertain Chelsea at White Hart Lane on Saturday, before travelling to fellow title-chasers Manchester United. Redknapp, though, could have Ledley King available to face Didier Drogba and company. The central defender made a surprise return against Arsenal, and though he usually struggles to play two games in a row, Redknapp remains hopeful. Redknapp said: "He's an amazing character. To come out and turn in a performance after weeks without kicking ball, and just perform superbly is amazing. "There's a chance but I wouldn't be sure. We'll see how his knee reacts."
