Tottenham is hoping for a fitness boost before their upcoming trip to Newcastle this weekend.
Dominic Solanke is a key concern for Spurs after an ankle injury kept him out of their win over Everton. Richarlison was back in the squad for that match, and Pedro Porro was fit to play the full 90 minutes, while Yves Bissouma also returned. Other worries include Rodrigo Bentancur, who is sidelined with a concussion, as well as Fraser Forster and Will Lankshear. Destiny Udogie was substituted late in the game against Everton due to fatigue.
