Tottenham Hotspur suffer fresh injury blow as £75m duo ruled out v Newcastle United - key player doubtful

Tottenham Hotspur have been hit with a fresh injury concern ahead of Sunday's match against Newcastle United (4:30pm kick-off).

Spurs were beaten 2-1 by West Ham United last time out in the Premier League and will be looking to end a run of five games without a win. But there are concerns regarding the fitness of top-scorer Son Heung-Min after the forward took a knock against The Hammers on Thursday night.

Speaking after the match, Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou said: "Yeah, we'll see how Sonny is. He was a bit sore after the game - we'll wait and see what the outcome is in terms of Sunday. "There's nothing - apart from Sonny - that looks too serious [from the defeat against West Ham]."

With Son a doubt for the match against The Magpies, Spurs will be without £40million summer signing James Maddison as he continues his recovery from an ankle injury. Micky van de Ven, Ivan Perisic, Rodrigo Bentancur, Ryan Sessegnon, Manor Solomon, Eric Dier and Alfie Whiteman also feature in Tottenham's lengthy injury list.

Newcastle also have many injury concerns heading into the match with at least 13 players deemed doubtful or unavailable to feature. Jamaal Lascelles suffered a dead leg in the 3-0 defeat at Everton on Thursday with head coach Eddie Howe unable to say whether the United captain would be involved on Sunday.

Howe is hopeful of welcoming back some players from injury this weekend with Sean Longstaff, Sven Botman and Joe Willock close to returning but the Newcastle boss said there are 'no guarantees' his side will be bolstered.
