Republic of Ireland right-back, Stephen Carr has suffered a minor setback in his recovery from his long-tern knee injury.
The Spurs player was forced to undergo surgery last September in the US and has recovered well from that ordeal. Sadly for the international defender, he picked up a groin strain as he increased his training regime and, according to reports in the Star, looks set to miss the Republic's friendly against Russia on February 13th.
The 24-year-old, who was named Tottenham's Player of the Year for 2000, is almost a certainty to start in Ireland's World Cup campaign if he regains full fitness.
