Tottenham Hotspur take on Newcastle United in the Premier League later today at the North London outfit have been handed a major injury blow.
Micky Van de Ven could miss out on the clash later today with a quad injury. According to Tottenham insider Paul O Keefe, Radu Dragusin is expected to deputise in his absence.
The 23-year-old Dutch defender has been a key player for Tottenham since joining the club and his absence will be a major blow, especially against the likes of Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon.
Tottenham are coming into this game on the back of a comprehensive victory against Everton, and they will look to build on that with a strong performance. They are expected to pick up all three points here against their top-four rivals.
Tottenham will have to win this game if they want to secure Champions League qualification for the next season. They will look to do well in the domestic competitions as well. Tottenham have brought in quality signings this summer, but they should have added more quality and depth to the central defensive unit. It remains to be seen whether the 23-year-old Dutch defender can return to action quickly.
Tottenham will need their best players fit and available if they want to finish the season strongly and push for trophies.
