Younes Kaboul has been ruled out of Tottenham's FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea with a knee injury.

The defender limped out of Spurs' 2-1 defeat to Norwich on Monday. With Michael Dawson already ruled out for the season and Ledley King still doubtful, William Gallas and Ryan Nelsen are the only fully-fit centre backs available to Harry Redknapp.

Gallas missed Monday's surprise to defeat to Norwich with a calf injury, but the former Chelsea defender is expected to start against his former club on Sunday.

Also available for selection is midfielder Scott Parker, but Niko Kranjcar is sidelined with a knee problem.

"Younes Kaboul did his knee last week so he is not available," Redknapp said. "Niko Kranjcar picked up a knee injury in midweek. He won't be available at the weekend. I have one or two little knocks as well."
