Team news from Newcastle | Willock joins Toon's injury list

Joe Willock is the latest player added to Eddie Howe's injury list ahead of our trip to St. James' Park on Saturday (12.30pm UK).

The attacking midfielder has been suffering with an Achilles issue and was forced off just before half-time in Newcastle's 1-0 win at Fulham last weekend.

Willock therefore joins the likes of Nick Pope, Joelinton, Sven Botman, Jamaal Lascelles, Callum Wilson, Tino Livramento, Miguel Almiron, Lewis Miley and former Spur, Kieran Trippier, on the sidelines.

"For Tottenham, I probably think he won't be available for us," Howe told the media on Friday. "The closest player to coming back would be Tino Livramento, who has not trained with the team yet but has been more visible on the grass.

"Lewis Hall has not trained at all this week after a tightness in his quadricep, so he has been a slight concern from the previous game. Other players are doing well in the background and improve quite quickly so I am hoping in the not-too-distant future we could get three or four players back."
