Destiny Udogie has become Tottenham’s latest injury absentee after being ruled out for at least a month with another hamstring problem.
Captain Cristian Romero begins a four-match ban as a result of his second red card of the season, meaning Spurs will be missing an entire team of players against Newcastle.
However, Djed Spence is ready to return after recovering from a calf injury.
Newcastle will assess Anthony Gordon, who missed Saturday’s defeat by Brentford because of a hamstring issue, and Lewis Miley, who has been out with a dead leg.
Joelinton remains unavailable.
Players out: Tottenham Hotspur – Bentancur, Bergvall, Danso, Davies, Kudus, Kulusevski, Maddison, Porro, Richarlison, Romero, Udogie
Newcastle United – Joelinton, Krafth, Livramento, Schar
Doubts: Newcastle United – Gordon, Miley
Key FPL notes:
-
Xavi Simons (£6.5m) racked up five shots and four chances created in his last home match for Tottenham Hotspur, both match-leading totals.
-
Dominic Solanke (£7.2m) of Spurs scored and claimed the maximum bonus in the corresponding fixture last season, amassing nine points.
-
Bruno Guimaraes (£7.0m) has returned in four of his last five matches for Newcastle, averaging 9.0 points per start.
