Hutton will miss Holland - Redknapp

Tottenham manager Redknapp claims national team counterpart George Burley has told him he instead plans to use the fit-again right-back against Iceland four days later. A foot injury has kept Hutton, 24, out of action since November's glamour friendly against Argentina but he is set to make his Spurs comeback in Monday's reserve clash with West Brom.

"I spoke to George and he will not play Alan against Holland," Redknapp said in the Scottish Sun. "He does not plan on using Alan in that one."

He added: "I believe that he's looking for him to play a part against Iceland instead. Alan's first game is for the reserves on Monday. He's got to get through that first.

"But George will watch him in training and see if he's fine. George isn't a fool.

"I don't know how much of either game he can play - but I'd be surprised if George pitched him in against Holland."

Burley had insisted on Wednesday that the door was not closed on Hutton playing in Amsterdam.
