Tottenham have received an injury boost after Michael Dawson’s injury is not as bad as first feared.

The central defender limped off during Tottenham’s 2-0 win against Portsmouth on Saturday with an Achilles injury.  Scans to the left tendon have shown that there is no risk of a rupture.

He left White Hart Lane on Saturday wearing a protective boot and has been been advised to rest as much as possible.

Dawson should be fit for Tottenham’s visit to Sunderland at the weekend.
