Tottenham boss AVB has no doubts over Caulker

Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas has full confidence in Steven Caulker after the threat of criminal charges from Serbia hanging over him.

The Spurs 20-year-old, Leeds centre-back Tom Lees and coach Steve Wigley have been named as the trio facing possible prosecution in the wake of England Under-21s' stormy qualifier in Krusevac last month.

"We spoke to the player," said the Spurs boss.

"At the moment we don't have enough information, nor do the FA, although there is contact between the FA, the government and the embassy in Serbia to try to find out more information about the speculation that is coming out.

"Regarding the player I think he will be ready to play.

"I think he obviously has a good chance because he has been doing quite well to make selection.

"I am not worried yet with the consequences of what can happen.

"We are still finding out more information."
