Tottenham have been hit by injury ahead of their derby clash with Chelsea.
Aaron Lennon suffered a hamstring pull in victory over Sunderland and will miss Thursday's London derby against top-four rivals Chelsea while Gareth Bale is a doubt for the game.
"Lennon felt the hamstring tear. He's got no chance for Thursday," Redknapp said.
"It'll be weeks, if it's a tear.
"We'll see about Bale. He's sprained his ankle. He just did it in training.
"There's every chance Defoe will be fit."
