Cynics will immediately conclude that Ndombele is out for the rest of the season and quite frankly, it’s difficult to put a more positive spin on matters. Sure, there rest of the season isn’t a very long time, but the player went from not injured, to “is injured” to being available to sit on the bench at Newcastle, to out for the rest of the season.
The truth, as ever in such incidents, will take a long while to come out, we’ve been here before with both Dimitar Berbatov, Luka Modric and Gareth Bale. Of course none of those players weren’t only on our books for a matter of months when they went MIA in the Spurs’ physio room.
It might be worth noting at this point that the 23-year-old (to the best of my knowledge) has yet to feature in any Tottenham social media assets such as interviews etc, which may be nothing, or may be something.
