Roberto De Zerbi provides Tottenham injury update ahead of Newcastle United clash

De Zerbi will now be hoping his side can bounce back and get their first three points of the 26-27 league campaign.
However, he will have to do so without a few of his Tottenham stars who are still nursing injuries.

That includes Micky van de Ven and Pedro Porro, who both made their return in the midweek clash against Charlton.
