Tottenham Hotspur injury news and predicted starting XI to face Newcastle United

Tottenham Hotspur boss Cristian Stellini has a decision to make in the heart of defence as his side prepare to take on Newcastle United this weekend. Clement Lenglet limped off during Spurs' defeat to Bournemouth last time out, with Davinson Sanchez replacing him.

The Colombian was booed onto the pitch by his own supporters in remarkable scenes, which could see the interim boss change tact. It's unclear the extent of Lenglet's injury at present, making moving Cristian Romero over to the left of a back three, or putting Japhet Tanganga in, are just some potential options for Stellini.

The 48-year-old will be without Lucas Moura for the trip to St. James' Park with the Brazilian serving the final match ban of his three game suspension. Ben Davies is back in training and could return to face the Magpies having recovered from a thigh injury, but it seems a return to the matchday squad is more likely.
