SPURS flop Roman Pavlychenko is cursing his luck as injury threatens to rule him out, just as he made a scoring return to action.

The Russian has been out in the cold for so long at White Hart Lane, and now he could be there while longer.

A groin strain could wreck his chance of action against Fulham, tomorrow.

Boss Redknapp revealed that Pavlychenko did not train today, and is set to undergo a scan on the damage.

Pavlychenko netted against League One Leeds in the FA Cup round four clash, last weekend.

But he may now not get to add to the hour's worth of Premier League match-time he has totted up so far this season.
