Tottenham Hotspur forward Roman Pavlyuchenko is unlikely to feature for Spurs' Europa League match against PAOK Salonika tonight after damaging his knee in training.

The Russian picked up the freak injury following a clash with teammate Andros Townsend on Monday.

"Pav did his knee," said manager Harry Redknapp. "It doesn't look very good. He just banged it on Andros Townsend's head. He slipped and hit Andros and it looks very swollen. It doesn't look great."

Striker Jermain Defoe is expected to partner teenager Harry Kane up front at White Hart Lane this evening.
