Tottenham left-back Ben Davies has been ruled out of the Premier League clash against Newcastle on Saturday.
Harry Kane and Dele Alli are also unavailable as they continue their rehabilitation from injury, but manager Mauricio Pochettino has no other injury problems.
However, Heung-min Son will face a late fitness test after suffering from cramps on Wednesday.
Journalists Jonathan Veal and Ben Dinnery delivered the fitness update from the pre-match press conference ahead of the Premier League clash on Saturday lunchtime.

No fresh injury concerns for Tottenham. Dele Alli (hamstring), Harry Kane (ankle) and Ben Davies (groin) remain out. A decision on whether Heung-Min Son starts will be made after training. Pochettino confirmed the South Korean star was suffering from cramp on Wednesday. #COYS

OPINION
This is decent enough news for a side that’s really suffered from injury problems this year. It means that Danny Rose will continue at left-back against Newcastle, and fans will be happy enough with that. The big question is over Son. He talked of fatigue after his exploits at the Asian Cup and has now suffered from cramp after the game on Wednesday. He looked out on his feet after the Watford game but he scored the goal that got Tottenham back into the game. That means Pochettino will want to play him if at all possible, but he won’t want to risk another injury to his attacking star. He could well decide to leave Son on the bench and start Lucas Moura instead, with Fernando Llorente highly like to lead the line again after getting the winning goal against Watford.
