Aaron Lennon’s battle to recover from a niggling groin injury looks set to continue after Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp confirmed the winger will once again be left out of the squad after suffering a setback in training. The 22–year-old has been out since December, despite initially being expected to return only after a few weeks after suffering the groin problem.

"He trained Monday and had a bit of a setback again,” Redknapp admitted on the league’s official website. "Hopefully he’ll be fit for the World Cup – I hope he’s fit to play for Tottenham first and foremost. He’s sore again. He’s come out in training and felt a bit sore after. So I don’t know. We just have to keep our fingers crossed but it’s been a long time."

Lennon looked to be in absolutely spectacular form at the start of the season, and should he fail to recover from his groin problem, fourth place challenger Spurs and World Cup hopefuls England will be dealt a significant blow.
