Ndombele to sit out Tottenham's clash with Newcastle due to 'minor thigh injury'

Tanguy Ndombele will miss Tottenham's Premier League clash with Newcastle United due to a "minor injury" suffered in training, the club have revealed.

Midfielder Ndombele, who became Spurs' record signing when he arrived from Lyon in the close season, has impressed with his early displays in England, scoring on his debut against Aston Villa.

The 22-year-old also played the full 90 minutes of Tottenham's 2-2 draw against Manchester City last weekend, lining up alongside Harry Winks in a holding midfield role.

However, the Lilywhites will be without the France international against Newcastle on Sunday, with his absence confirmed via Twitter on Friday.
