# Lennon Super Keen To Silence ‘Bottle Job’ Critics

[Tottenham](https://www.footballfancast.com/premiership/tottenham-hotspur) winger Aaron Lennon is expected to be fit for Wednesday’s UEFA Champions League quarter-final second-leg against Real Madrid.Spurs were without the speedster during the 4-0 thrashing at the Bernabeu after he withdrew due to illness minutes before the first whistle.

Lennon took no part in the 3-2 victory over [Stoke City](https://www.footballfancast.com/premiership/stoke-city) in the English Premier League on Saturday, but manager Harry Redknapp expects him to be ready by Wednesday.

***“Aaron wasn’t well again on Friday and not well enough to play against Stoke,” Redknapp said.***

***“He did some work on Friday with the fitness coach and then joined in with a little game but didn’t feel well enough.”***

***“I think he will be fit enough to play on Wednesday.”***

***T***his will be a welcome opportunity for the wing heeled England star to demonstrate to those less charitable that Real Madrid weren’t a team that overawed him.

When Lennon suddenly had to bail from last week’s game against the Spanish giants, there were a good number of ‘fans’ who suspected that the player had lost his nerve.

This nonsense will be put behind Lennon very soon.
