Spurs to shuffle defensive pack against Hearts

Stop me if you've heard this one before but it seems that Spurs have defensive problems ahead of the away leg against Hearts on Thursday night and the start of our premiership season.

William Gallas is struggling with the injury that kept him out of Tottenham's entire pre-season campaign while club captain Ledley King is approaching what for him is match fitness and has an outside chance of making it for the game with Manchester United.
