It’s been a tough few days for Tottenham Hotspur and they will welcome the chance to show what they’re made of against Newcastle United on Sunday.
Danny Rose’s controversial interview in The Sun didn’t go down well with fans, and Spurs will now need to do their talking on the pitch to stop the problems getting worse.
Sadly for Mauricio Pochettino and his thin squad, injuries have made his options even thinner.
Erik Lamela and Danny Rose are still on the way back from long-term hip and knee injuries, respectively, while Kieran Trippier and Georges-Kevin N’Koudou are absent for at least one match.
