Davies scan after training accident

Tottenham midfielder Simon Davies is doubtful for Saturday's vital Premiership clash with Southampton after undergoing scans on a groin injury.

Davies was injured in a trainingground accident 24 hours before his team-mates crashed 4-2 to Chelsea at the weekend.

His groin problem was severe enough to prevent him training yesterday and now the Wales international faces a race to be fit to face Coventry in the Carling Cup next week.

Gus Poyet may be included in the Spurs squad to face Southampton at White Hart Lane after recovering from his broken wrist and playing for the reserves in Spurs' 2-1 win against West Ham last night.

Poyet and Christian Ziege, who played 73 minutes after a thigh injury, completed successful returns for Spurs, who also fielded on-loan Internazionale midfielder Stephane Dalmat. Ziege is unlikely to figure against Southampton.

Striker Robbie Keane, who injured his ankle in action for the Republic of Ireland last month, did not feature and remains a doubt for Saturday's match.
