Harry Redknapp has no doubts that Ledley King will be included in Fabio Capello's World Cup squad. Spurs boss Redknapp has been in regular contact about King with Capello, who is likely to name the defender in his 30-man provisional squad in two weeks' time.
Redknapp insists King's form will enable him to make the plane to South Africa, regardless of worries about his fitness.
"He's a certainty to go to the World Cup," Redknapp said. "Look at how he played at Old Trafford, he was our best player.
"I'd be surprised if he (Capello) doesn't take him.
"I spoke to Fabio Capello about six weeks ago. He kept asking 'how's Ledley, how's Ledley?'
"When Capello spoke to me he said he had six days between each game. I said it's not a problem then.
"What a great player to have. Even if he doesn't start him, if something happens with Rio or John then you've got him to come in.
"You can bet your life on him going."
