Tottenham Hotspur team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Middlesbrough

Sports Mole rounds up Tottenham Hotspur's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Sunday's FA Cup third-round tie with Middlesbrough.

Tottenham Hotspur make the trip to Middlesbrough in the FA Cup third round this weekend looking to end a mixed Christmas and New Year period on a high.

Jose Mourinho has witnessed his team record just four points from as many matches, leaving them six points off the pace in the race for fourth position in the Premier League table.

While Mourinho will be considering major changes for the visit to the North-East, the Portuguese also has a number of injury issues to contend with ahead of playing at the Riverside Stadium.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their first contest in 2020.

Having been withdrawn against Southampton with a hamstring injury, Kane is expected to be sidelined for several weeks. Regardless, the forward may have been rested for the trip to the North-East.

Ndombele lasted just 25 minutes of the match on the south coast before being withdrawn with a hip problem. Mourinho is highly unlikely to take any risks on the Frenchman this weekend.


TOTTENHAM'S SUSPENSION LIST

With Son Heung-min having served his three-match ban in the Premier League, Spurs have no suspension issues for this match.
