Tottenham Team News Ahead of Newcastle United Clash<\/h2>\n

How Tottenham Have Lined Up<\/h3>\n

Thomas Frank has settled on a back three in recent weeks, adding defensive security during a run of difficult fixtures. The system has prioritised structure over control. At times, flexibility has been demonstrated, with Joao Palhinha stepping into midfield against Manchester United.\u00a0 Conor Gallagher and Pape Sarr have been deployed in the middle recently, providing energy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Xavi Simons has looked dangerous in the system, becoming Tottenham\u2019s primary source of creativity. While Romero\u2019s absence may tempt Frank to revert back to a 4-2-3-1, the manager is expected to retain the back three shape used in recent weeks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Injury Updates and Suspension News<\/h3>\n

Following his sending off against Manchester United<\/a>, Cristian Romero is suspended for Tuesday. The captain will miss the next four matches after picking up his second red of the season. Destiny Udogie will also miss out. In Monday’s press conference<\/a>, Thomas Frank revealed: \u201cDestiny has a hamstring injury, he is out for the next four to five weeks.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Kevin Danso and Dejan Kulusevski remain unavailable. Frank said: \u201cKevin met the consultant, it\u2019s going forward but still weeks before he\u2019s available. Dejan has another appointment at the end of this week, then we\u2019ll know more.\u201d <\/span>There is some positive news however. Spurs will be boosted by the return of Djed Spence<\/a>. Frank confirmed: \u201cWe lose two players for tomorrow but we get Spence back.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pedro Porro, Ben Davies, Rodrigo Bentancur, Lucas Bergvall, James Maddison, Mohamed Kudus and Richarlison are all ruled out.<\/span><\/p>\n
