Spurs boss Harry Redknapp has expressed his delight at the response of Jermaine Jenas in training after he was left out of the side that faced Wigan last week.
"It was a difficult week for me. Look at JJ, he played against Brazil then I didn't play him but his attitude has been terrific, and the way he has conducted himself has been first class." Redknapp is reported to have said by the Press Association.
"It wasn't easy for him after playing against Brazil but he showed me what a fantastic professional he is."

Jermain Defoe has scored 15 goals for club and country this season and Redknapp is hoping that he will be on the scoresheet again against Aston Villa on Saturday.
"He's been sharp ever since he came back from injury earlier this year and I said before the game he can carry on from the training ground.
"If we can get one or two from him at Villa I'll be delighted."
