Prague trip comes too soon for Dawson

Tottenham Hotspur FC centre-back Michael Dawson looks set to miss his club's UEFA Cup Round of 32 tie against SK Slavia Praha on Thursday after injuring his right thigh in Saturday's 3-0 win at Derby County FC.

Injuries at the back
The 24-year-old could was replaced after only 14 minutes and Tottenham manager Juande Ramos said: "We think it's a muscle tear. How bad it is we won't know until we have had a proper look at him but at the early stages we're thinking that it looks like two to three weeks out." With club captain Ledley King also struggling for fitness, Spurs have questions over who will play in defence on their trip to Prague.
