Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is happy his players have requested heart checks.

Redknapp backed the move and also revealed his players had been offered counselling today.

"We had someone come in today to run the tests," Redknapp said.

"We have also had people in to talk to the lads as well. That was important.

"They have had plenty of support and they have come in and got on with it, but the main talking point was what was happening on the news. They were all just hoping he'd improve."
