Tottenham team vs Newcastle: Heung-min Son starts for Spurs, but there’s no Ndombele

Heung-min Son has been named in the Tottenham starting line-up for the first time this season following the completion of his suspension.

The South Korea international has completed the three-match ban he received after his red card away to Bournemouth last season.

Son comes in for Christian Eriksen, who is named on the bench against Newcastle as speculation surrounding his future rumbles on.

Eriksen could leave before the European transfer window shuts on September 2 and, despite starting last week, he is named among the substitutes, along with Jan Vertonghen and Giovani Lo Ceslo.

Record signing Tanguy Ndombele has been omitted from the matchday squad entirely.

Meanwhile, Joelinton is fit for Newcastle after overcoming a hip injury while winger Allan Saint-Maximin is also named in Steve Bruce's starting XI.
