King: Won't be rushed

Tottenham boss Martin Jol is refusing to rush Ledley King back to action.

King has yet to feature for Spurs this season as he struggles to recover from a knee injury.

The club skipper has been sorely missed by Jol with the Spurs defence failing to convince in his absence.

Jol is unsure when King will finally return to action and he insists he will not take any risks with the defender's fitness

"I can't rush him," Jol said. "I can't wait for Ledley all the time because I have other players to focus on.

"If he will be back, it will be a big bonus for us."
