Harry returns for Spurs

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp would never consider quitting the game despite his health concerns according to Kevin Bond, and will make his return against Aston Villa on Monday night.

The 64-year-old has recently undergone an operation on his heart to unblock two coronary arteries and has been absent for the White Hart Lane side’s last two fixtures.

Despite being recommended to stay away from football for five weeks Redknapp will return against Villa, and Bond feels at no point would the trainer have considered retirement.

“There was no way Harry was going to quit after his heart operation,” Bond stated to Sky Sports.

“There is pressure but he’s been doing it for a long time and has learnt to live with that pressure. He loves it and would be lost without it.

Redknapp has admitted that he feels stronger and healthier than ever, and is keen to see his side get three points on Monday night.

“I feel fine, I feel really good. In fact, I’ve got more energy than before,” he admitted.

“I certainly feel better than I did three weeks ago and I’m looking forward to getting back to work. I can handle the stress of a football match. I’ve been used to doing it for so long now that I’m sure I won’t have a problem.

“If I keel over, the doctors will be right behind me, I’m sure,” he concluded.

Spurs go into the game looking to make it eight wins from nine games, and can move up to third place with a victory.
