Tottenham Hotspur boss Andre Villas-Boas plays down fears over injuries to Moussa Dembele, Younes Kaboul and Danny Rose.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas has revealed the extent of injuries picked up by Moussa Dembele, Younes Kabout and Danny Rose during last night's 3-0 win over Tromso IL.

The Portuguese coach played down fears regarding Dembele and Kaboul, but ruled Rose doubtful for Sunday's trip to Cardiff City.

"Dembele should be okay," Villas-Boas told reporters. "He felt a lot of pain when he was brought down, but now he's steady.

"Younes felt muscle tightness in his adductor and we decided to take him off. He was struggling but he didn't rupture anything.

"We have to be a little bit more careful with Danny Rose. We hope it's not serious. We have to give him one night to see the reaction of his ankle. He is in doubt for Sunday but he should be okay."

Nacer Chadli (thigh), Etienne Capoue (ankle) and Aaron Lennon (foot) missed last night's game.
