But Tottenham Hotspur are facing a left-back crisis ahead of Sunday’s Premier League tie with the Magpies.
Ben Davies, last week, withdrew from the Wales squad following a significant injury to his calf with a return date unknown.
That leaves Sergio Reguilon as the only senior like-for-like replacement in the Spurs squad, however, the 24-year-old is facing a race against the clock to be passed fit.
Reguilon is back on the grass but has not yet resumed full training with a number of his teammates currently on international duty.
Matt Doherty also picked up a knock whilst playing for the Republic of Ireland during their shock home defeat to Luxembourg.

The Serie A club reportedly want between £8.5million and £12.8m for the Gambian international, who only recently signed a new contract until June 2025.
