Good news all around by the looks of it, from José Mourinho ahead of our trip to Newcastle on Sunday lunchtime.
Speaking to PA Sport’s Jonathan Veal, the gaffer said that Son Heung-min will travel to St.James’ Park after recovering from a hamstring injury. Sergio Reguilon also fit which is a huge relief.
There is unlikely to be too much outpouring of grief in response to the news that Ben Davies and Matt Doherty are both out. As Japhet Tanganga proved recently, he’s more than capable of slotting into the Lilywhite backline.
The heat is on the Portuguese, as Tottenham now has just nine league games to secure Champions League qualification, and we went into the international break with work to do, being at least two places short of that target.
Spurs recent track record at St James’ Park might inspire confidence – so hope could be at hand – given our record been excellent on the road against sides in the bottom half of the table (W5, D2, L1) is none too shabby.
