Tottenham Hotspur host PSV in their first leg, last 16 UEFA Cup clash at White Hart Lane, looking to bounce back from a heavy Premier League defeat.
Juande Ramos could not hide his anger after the 4-1 thrashing to lowly Birmingham, coming off the back of a memorable Carling Cup final win over Chelsea, revealing that he refused to address his players after the match to avoid saying something he would have later regretted.
"We had a meeting to say the League Cup was gone, we have to focus on the league and the UEFA Cup now," vice-captain Robbie Keane said.
"The boss said, 'You're all playing for your future, for next season'. That keeps us all on our toes."
Spurs defenders Ledley King (ankle) and Jonathan Woodgate (ankle) have been included in Juande Ramos's squad to face PSV while Michael Dawson (leg) has been training this week.
Benoit Assou-Ekotto (knee) and Gareth Bale (foot) remain out with long-term injuries and Alan Hutton is ineligible.
PSV are close to full strength.
