Cristian Stellini may have a number of injuries to contend with at present but Tottenham's acting head coach must find a way of changing his team for next Sunday's trip to Newcastle. Having the opportunity to move level on points with the Magpies after they had lost 3-0 at Aston Villa in the early kick-off on Saturday, Spurs passed up the chance following a last-minute 3-2 defeat against Bournemouth.
One player who could be in contention to come into the team is Arnaut Danjuma after an impressive cameo against his former club. Introduced in the 58th minute as Stellini made an attacking change moments after they had found themselves 2-1 down, the Netherlands international restored parity two minutes from time but Dango Ouattara was to have the final say on proceedings.
Potentially making a change in an attacking sense to bring Danjuma in, Stellini may be forced to make an alteration at the back following Clement Lenglet's early exit in the Bournemouth defeat. The severity of the issue the Frenchman sustained in the first half will become clearer prior to Sunday's game at Newcastle and that could in turn further limit Spurs' defensive numbers.
