Newcastle United v Spurs team news: Wilson and Shelvey fit to return for Magpies

talksport.com, 15 October 2021, 14:03
Newcastle United will start what will surely be an exciting new journey when they welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Tyneside on Sunday.

The Magpies are now the richest club in world football after seeing a £305million takeover deal go through that sees Amanda Staveley and the PIF take ownership of the North East side.

However, with no wins in the Premier League so far the focus for now has to be on recording three points as they look to finish the season with their heads above water.

Steve Bruce, though, will be in charge for what will be his 1,000th game as a football manager.

For Tottenham it's been a mixed start to the campaign but after winning against Aston Villa ahead of the international break Nuno Espirito Santo's side will be keen to kick on and push themselves into the upper echelons of the table.

Newcastle United team news

Newcastle could have some good news regarding their star striker.

Callum Wilson has been out of action since August with an injury, an absence that has certainly been felt by Steve Bruce's side.

However he is expected to be passed fit for Sunday's clash after stepping up his recovery over the international break.

Jonjo Shelvey is also back in contention after playing for the club's under-23 side midweek, while Joe Willock and Jamaal Lascelles are also available.

The only absentees for Bruce are Martin Dubravka and Paul Dummet

Tottenham team news

For Nuno Espirito Santo there won't be a huge amount of injury concerns.

Ben Davies could miss out after dropping out of the Wales squad due to illness, while Stephen Bergwijn and Ryan Sessegnon will both miss out as long-term absentees.

The challenge will be on ensuring that their players return from international duty unscathed.

The manager has not ruled them out of the match.

Argentine duo Cristian Romero and Giovani Lo Celso, Colombia's

Davinson Sanchez and Brazil international Emerson Royal are en route to London having been in South America for World Cup qualifiers over the last two weeks.

Romero, Lo Celso and Emerson all played in the early hours of Friday morning.

Nuno said: "They will join us tomorrow and then we'll see. Then we'll see.

"The reports that we have is that they finished their games well. Some of them played 90 minutes, Davinson Sanchez no, but what we are expecting is for them to join us and then we'll see."
