Injury-ravaged Tottenham hit by sickness bug ahead of crucial Newcastle clash Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has been dealt another selection problem with a sickness bug running through his squad this week.
Spurs were already set to be without nine players for Saturday’s visit of Newcastle after Destiny Udogie suffered a hamstring injury in Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Wolves and Rodrigo Bentancur received his fifth yellow card of the Premier League season.
Postecoglou acknowledged the need for 12th-placed Spurs to get back on track after four defeats from their last six league fixtures, but they will face one of the in-form teams in the division in Newcastle.
However, Postecoglou will also have to make a late call on a handful of players who were unable to train before Newcastle make the trip to north London.
Newcastle were 12th at the start of December, but four consecutive wins has them fifth and firmly in the race for Champions League qualification.
