Tanguy Ndombele will miss Tottenham’s Premier League clash with Newcastle United due to a “minor injury” suffered in training, the club have revealed.
Midfielder Ndombele, who became Spurs’ record signing when he arrived from Lyon in the close season, has impressed in his early displays in England, scoring on his debut against Aston Villa.
But Tottenham will be without the France international against Newcastle on Sunday, his absence confirmed via Twitter on Friday.
A post ahead of Mauricio Pochettino’s pre-match news conference stated Ndombele had sustained a thigh issue in training, although he was seemingly only ruled out of the Newcastle game.
