Tottenham boss Redknapp admits major hammy concern for Adebayor

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has confirmed hamstring concerns for striker Emmanuel Adebayor.

Adebayor is likely to miss their clash with Newcastle United this weekend.

He told Sky Sports News HD: "He has got a bit of a hamstring. He played on with it last week. He did it in the first half against Arsenal and he played on, which is not easy. He did have a tear. It's touch and go for him really.

"It's a dangerous one. If he tears it badly, he has got a grade one tear if he makes a real mess of it and he could be out for six or seven weeks.

"It's a difficult one to risk him, but we will see how he feels. We will give him a couple of days yet, keep treating him and hopefully he could be okay.

"If he is a doubt, I wouldn't want to risk him. I wouldn't want to lose him long term."
