Latest Spurs news: Gold claims Ndombele hasn’t trained all week ahead of Arsenal clash

Tanguy Ndombele did not play for Tottenham in the surprise 1-0 loss at the hands of Newcastle last weekend.

The French midfielder did a great job in the opening two games of the season and even scored on his debut against Aston Villa.

Ndombele picked up a slight problem ahead of the Newcastle clash and a return against fierce rivals Arsenal could be the perfect pick-up for Spurs.

However, Tottenham correspondent Alasdair Gold didn’t have great news regarding Ndombele. The Football.london reporter claimed that the Frenchman was still limping and it would be risky to play him on Sunday (h/t Football.london):

“Ndombele doesn’t seem to have been training earlier this week and he appeared at a Junior Spurs event at the stadium on Tuesday and looked to be limping around.

“There are still three more days of training after today so Pochettino and the medical team might be hoping to make a late call on his thigh injury.

“Spurs missed his attempts to up the tempo and break the lines on Sunday, but throwing him back into the blood and thunder of a north London derby might not do him any favours if he’s not 100%.”

Spurs need to be at their best against the Gunners

Arsenal will also have a point to prove on Sunday after their 3-1 loss at the hands of Liverpool. Facing our North London rivals is never easy and we have to be at our best to get something positive from the game.

We were poor in the attacking third against Newcastle and it will be interesting to see how Mauricio Pochettino deals with that.

However, having Ndombele back would be a great boost as the Frenchman can dominate the Arsenal midfield and create chances in the attacking third.

Spurs have a few days before the game and hopefully, Ndombele is fit for the clash.
