King To Return After A Knee Injury

December 27, 2007

Tottenham manager Juande Ramos couldn’t have been any happier after a 5-1 win against Fullham and Ledley King’s return to the football club. These two things made his day just as perfect as he wished. Although the return is not yet a hundred percent sure, he is anticipating it if the medics allow him to, which will be King’s first appearance this season. He has been away since June after a knee injury and a thigh problem. King’s development will be monitored over the next few days to see to it that his knee is well enough to play for the team again, although the team is expecting for his return next week to play in the home game in opposition to Reading or at Aston Villa. King is looking forward to a continuous improvement about his injury to do away with more damages, considering his performance being awfully affected by his injuries.

Ledley is the longest-serving member and captain of the Tottenham Hotspur’s playing staff. It was in July 1997 when he signed as a trainee and improved in his rank as he made his first-team debut as a half-time alternative in a 3-2 rout to Liverpool May 1999.

Ledley failed to play over a long term this 2006-07 because of a foot injury, but managed to go back to the side for the last month of the season and helped guarantee a UEFA Cup qualification for the second season. He then was included in the England squad against Brazil and Estonia for the end-of-season internationals.
