Spurs boss Ramos can't guarantee Robinson Cup final place

Tottenham coach Juande Ramos couldn't guarantee a Carling Cup final start for Paul Robinson, despite the goalkeeper's strong performance in last night's 1-1 draw with Slavia Prague.

"We have three days to recover," Ramos said. "We can have a close look at the line-ups, how they recover. There is a lot of things to consider before deciding on the final team line-up.

"It's important that all the players are fit enough and in the right condition."

Pascal Chimbonda was substituted after picking up what appeared to be a knee injury but he should be fit to face Chelsea.

"It doesn't seem like a particularly serious injury and he should recover in the three days before the final," Ramos said. "But the most important time is the first 24 hours and we will check on him and see how he is."
