Redknapp and Postiga return for Spurs

Tottenham were today given a double boost with the return to full fitness of Helder Postiga and club captain Jamie Redknapp.

Postiga, who came on as a late substitute in the Premiership defeat at Middlesbrough on Tuesday, scored one goal and was brought down for the penalty which Redknapp converted in their 2-1 reserve team win over Wimbledon at Milton Keynes last night.

It was Postiga's first full game since damaging a hamstring in the FA Cup defeat by Manchester City, while Redknapp completed his second 90 minutes after returning from knee surgery.

The only blot on the evening was an ankle injury to goalkeeper Rob Burch.
