Martin Dubravka and Fabian Schar both also returned early from international duty but have since trained with Newcastle and should be available.

Tottenham vs Newcastle prediction

Newcasle went into the break off the back of two defeats in a row, perhaps showing a drop in intensity with Premier League survival seemingly secured.

Their task is to get that back but it won’t be easy against a Tottenham side targeting a top-four place and starting to really click into gear under Conte. Every match is crucial for Spurs as they try and close the gap to Arsenal and they should have too much for the visitors.

Tottenham to win, 3-1.
