Tottenham Hotspur footballers Gareth Bale and William Gallas are doubtful for next week's Champions League quarter-final first leg against Real Madrid.
Injuries to midfielder Bale's hamstring and defender Gallas's knee have ruled them out of Sunday's Premier League game at Wigan Athletic and the pair face a battle to play at the Bernabeu on Wednesday.
Spurs are already without central defender Ledley King, who needs groin surgery and will miss the rest of the campaign, as well as defensive linchpins Jonathan Woodgate and Younes Kaboul.
Sebastien Bassong will come into the centre of defence alongside captain Michael Dawson at Wigan with manager Harry Redknapp stressing the importance of the game as Spurs chase a top-four finish and a place in next season's Champions League.
Tottenham are currently in fifth spot, four points behind Manchester City but with a game in hand.
