Spurs stars receive counselling

Harry Redknapp has revealed that some of his Tottenham Hotspur stars have received counselling after witnessing the collapse of Fabrice Muamba on Saturday.

The Bolton Wanderers star suffered a cardiac arrest during their FA Cup tie with Spurs at the weekend.

Spurs face Stoke City in the Premier League tonight and Redknapp admits that he will not hesitate in leaving players out if they are not in the right state of mind.

"A lady came in. She had a quick chat with them. They all seemed okay yesterday," Redknapp said. "You can soon tell when they're training if their minds are on it or they don't look like they're into it, for any reason.

"If they're not I'll have a chat with them then. If they come out and they look bright then there's no problems.

"If there is anybody who today feels they are not in the right frame of mind to play, then obviously I would not play them. I won't take a chance."

Fabrice Muamba remains in intensive care where he is making steady progress.
