Jol leaves decision on Lennon to last moment

The Tottenham Hotspur manager, Martin Jol, will make a late decision on his England winger Aaron Lennon before tonight's Uefa Cup Group B meeting with Bayer Leverkusen in Germany.

Lennon missed the Premiership draw with Blackburn Rovers at the weekend along with the midfielder Jermaine Jenas (calf), who is definitely not ready for the match at the BayArena.

Tottenham, winners of the Uefa Cup in 1972 and 1984, travel to Leverkusen who drew their only match against Club Bruges. The trip will be a special one for Tottenham's Bulgarian striker Dimitar Berbatov as he faces the club for whom he scored 69 goals in 154 league games.

Berbatov, like Spurs, has struggled to make an impact in the Premier League although he excelled in the 3-1 victory over Bruges in the last round of Group B fixtures, scoring twice and setting up another.

The striker played no part in the 1-1 draw with Blackburn on Sunday as Jol shuffled his strikers and played the Egyptian Mido up front with Jermain Defoe.

However, for tonight's tie Berbatov is almost certain to return to partner Robbie Keane.

Pascal Chimbonda (medial ligament) is back in the squad but Calum Davenport (groin), Anthony Gardner (knee) and Paul Stalteri (knee) are set to miss out. Teemu Tainio is back in contention.
