Tottenham's January signing Pascal Chimbonda will start against Shakhtar Donetsk in Thursday's first leg of the Uefa Cup last-32 at RSK Olimpiyskyi. Vedran Corluka is cup-tied and Ledley King and Jamie O'Hara are returning from injury so will not travel.


Darren Bent will start in attack as strikers Jermain Defoe, Robbie Keane and Roman Pavlyuchenko are cup-tied.


Shakhtar have included Brazilians Fernandinho, Jadson, Ilsinho, Willian and Luiz Adriano in their squad.








Carlo Cudicini, Jonathan Woodgate, Wilson Palacios, Aaron Lennon and Luka Modric did not travel to Donetsk with Tottenham, while the Londoners are expected to name youngsters Dean Parrett and John Bostock as substitutes.




Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp:

"I just felt that Chimbonda gives us cover all over. I was looking for somebody who could play everywhere, that's going to be important.


"He has energy, gets forward and is an attacking full-back. He was outstanding at centre-back in his last game for Sunderland so can play across the back four.


"The Uefa Cup is not the most important of our competitions. The game at Hull on Monday is far more important to me."


Shakhtar Donetsk manager Mircea Lucescu:

"We will see good Brazilian flair against English physical strength.


"Darren Bent will be very motivated because Tottenham decided to buy Jermain Defoe and Robbie Keane.


"It is normal for a player like Bent to then be motivated. It is true they are playing a lot of competitions but players want to play continually.


"This game is important for them if they want to stay in all competitions, it will be very difficult for us."
