Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp admits their sudden injury list could hurt their Premiership chances.
Ledley King, Luka Modric, Jonathan Woodgate and Michael Dawson are all set for extend spells on the sidelines.
"We can give everybody a game," said Redknapp. "But we need our best players. We need Ledley, we need Luka.
"We're no different to anybody else. Take Steven Gerrard and (Fernando) Torres out of Liverpool or Rooney and Rio (Ferdinand) out of United and they're not the same."
