Niko Kranjcar to miss rest of the season

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Niko Kranjcar has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a knee injury.

The Croatian picked up the problem in training before last weekend's FA Cup semi-final defeat to Chelsea.

Despite hopes that he may have recovered for the final few games of the campaign, manager Harry Redknapp confirmed that the 27-year-old would not feature again.

"Niko is out for the rest of the season," Redknapp told reporters.

It is unclear whether Kranjcar will have recovered in time for Euro 2012.
