Tottenham striker Defoe ends op plans

Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe will not be undergoing groin surgery.

The Daily Star says Harry Redknapp was left sweating on the fitness of his star striker, who was due to go under the knife to clear up a niggling groin injury.

But Defoe – who is due to play for England tonight – postponed the planned operation when he felt no pain following the Champions League qualification win over Young Boys.

The White Hart Lane club have now shelved the op indefinitely.
