Tottenham Hotspur team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Newcastle United

Sports Mole rounds up Tottenham Hotspur's injury and suspension news ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash with Newcastle United.

At risk of losing a fourth Premier League home game on the spin, Tottenham Hotspur seek to lift their Christmas curse when Newcastle United visit their North London home on Sunday afternoon.

For the fifth game running, Ange Postecoglou's side took the lead against West Ham United only to let three points pass them by, as Jarrod Bowen and James Ward-Prowse cancelled out Cristian Romero's header in a 2-1 loss for the Lilywhites.

With only one point under their belt from their last 15 on offer in the Premier League, Tottenham remain outside of the Champions League spots in fifth place, now nine points adrift of leaders and bitter adversaries Arsenal.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Newcastle, who suffered a similarly chastening midweek experience in a 3-0 loss to Everton.


Son Heung-min

Possible return date: December 10 (vs. Newcastle)

Son Heung-min was visibly struggling with some sort of injury before being taken off in the dying embers of Spurs' loss to West Ham, and it remains to be seen if he is risked for the clash with the Magpies.


Eric Dier

Eric Dier has been forced to sit out Tottenham's last two games with a groin injury sustained in training, and Postecoglou has affirmed that the defender will need to be carefully managed, ruling him out of the visit of Newcastle.

Having made a complete recovery from his ACL injury, the unfortunate Rodrigo Bentancur is back in the treatment room with an ankle problem, and the Uruguay international will not return until the end of January in the best-case scenario.
