Jermain Defoe set to return after death of his half-brother
Andrew Fifield1 May 2009
Jermain Defoe is set to play against West Brom tomorrow despite the death of his half-brother Jade in east London.
The Spurs striker is fit again after a foot injury and manager Harry Redknapp says he is ready to be involved in first-team matches.
Redknapp said: “Jermain's okay. It's probably good for him to come into the football club with the other lads stops him from sitting around and thinking about it.
“It's good for him to be part of things and he's looked very sharp. He's also coming back from a long-term injury so it's just a relief to have him back before the end of the season.”
