Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has confirmed that Aaron Lennon will miss Thursday's London derby against Chelsea.

The winger was substituted during Tottenham's 1-0 win over Sunderland earlier today with a hamstring injury.

Redknapp has now revealed that the 24-year-old has suffered a torn muscle.

"Aaron tore a hamstring today so he definitely won't be back for Thursday," Redknapp told Sky Sports News.

"We lost Gareth Bale yesterday evening in training. He's got a bit of a sprain in his ankle, then we lost Aaron Lennon so we lost a lot of pace out of our team and that was a problem."

Lennon joined Spurs in 2005 from Leeds United.
