Tottenham's preparations for the Premier League clash against Everton have been disrupted by a virus at the club.

He said: "We've closed the training ground. Everything is off limits. We're just going to train there and that's it."

Meanwhile, Redknapp is calling on in-form striker Roman Pavlyuchenko to work harder. The Russian striker has scored five goals in his last three matches to improve his chances of getting regular action.

However, Redknapp said: "It's been a pretty special time for the lad but it's no good saying he's done it after a decent little spell.

"A few good games don't make a season. He has to keep performing for Spurs. Pav has struggled to establish himself at Tottenham but this is a great chance for him to have positive influence on what could be a fantastic season at Spurs.

"He needs to work harder to utilise his undoubted talent. Technically he is a very gifted player."
