Question marks were raised over Tottenham's abilities to juggle both competitions when they lost at home to Wigan just days after clinching qualification for the group stages of the Champions League with victory over Swiss outfit Young Boys.
Spurs face Aston Villa this weekend and despite having a number of injury problems in defence Redknapp believes his squad is strong enough to battle on both fronts.
"We've been badly hit in certain positions, Ledley [King] played last night and was fantastic," Redknapp told Sky Sports News.
"Ledley King is an immense player and for league games recently I have lost Ledley, lost William Gallas and lost Michael Dawson who has been fantastic for us as well.
"Suddenly I have lost all my centre-halves, Sebastien Bassong was the only one [fit] and he did great last night and that's the area that has caused us a problem really.
"But I think we have got a strong enough squad to juggle around to play Saturday, midweek, Saturday.
"It does put extra pressure on and extra workload, but I think we can cope okay with the squad we have got."
