Tottenham captain Ledley King is set to play from the start against UEFA Cup rivals PSV Eindhoven on Thursday night.

King was the subject of claims that the Carling Cup win over Chelsea would be his last match for the club because of a recurring knee injury.

Those suggestions were further fuelled when the 27-year-old centre-back missed Saturday's 4-1 defeat at Birmingham.

But the Mirror says King has been back in training since the weekend and is ready to help Spurs in their bid to land a dream cup Double.
