Tottenham captain Ledley King has been ruled out for another three months with knee problems.
The Sunday Mirror says King has not played since England's 3-0 Euro 2008 victory in Estonia in May.
It was hoped he would be back in the next fortnight, but now it will be Christmas before he can return.
Boss Jol admits that defender King's injury has left Spurs short at the back and with the transfer window closed he can't strengthen his squad until January.
