Redknapp accepts Heurelho Gomes will move on in January.
His appearance against Stoke City in the Carling Cup on Tuesday night was Gomes' first this season.
“I would think he won’t be happy," said Redknapp. "He wants to play at the World Cup [in 2014] with Brazil, so it’s going to be a problem.
“We’ll wait until the next window and see where that takes us.
“He’s done nothing wrong. He’s a fantastic goalkeeper and a great pro. I just went with Carlo in Greece [against PAOK in the Europa League] - and he [Cudicini] was magnificent.
“I’m very lucky I have three top goalkeepers here and it’s unlucky for the two not in the team.
“They would get in other teams, for sure. He [Gomes] trains great every day."

Ossie Ardiles believes if Luka Modric again decides to leave
Modric was at the centre of one of the transfer sagas of the summer, with Chelsea seeing three bids snubbed for the Croatia playmaker.
Speaking at the launch of '19', a book by award-winning journalist Harry Harris which chronicles each of Manchester United's record-breaking 19 league titles, Ardiles told Press Association Sport: "In my time, when all the power was with the chairman or with the club, you could not stop players leaving.
"If a player wanted to leave, at the end of the day, he would leave.
"Right now, with all the power in the player's hands, you cannot possibly stop that.
"If Luka Modric, or whoever, wants to leave the club, he will."
Hailing Modric's performance as the "best ever" of his three-and-a-half year Tottenham career, Ardiles added: "He's a lovely, lovely boy.
"Of course it will affect him when suddenly you are going to be earning a lot more money, you are going to be playing in the Champions League.
"You would not be human if you were not unsettled after that.
"Saying that, he realises it's not going to happen right now.
"So these months for him before January are going to be incredibly crucial.
"I think he's going to give everything he has and we're going to be the beneficiaries of that.
"And, of course, he will benefit as well because he may have a transfer in January or he may in July."
