Tottenham have been dealt a double fitness blow in their pursuit to cement their place in the top four when Newcastle make the trip to Wembley on Wednesday, with both Eric Dier and Serge Aurier ruled out of the clash.
Spurs' form has slipped in recent weeks which has allowed Chelsea to make up ground and close the gap to two points with just two games remaining, and now Mauricio Pochettino is facing a selection headache in the lead up to the match against the Magpies.
The Spurs boss revealed in his pre-match press conference that Dier - who has missed just three league games this season - would be unavailable for selection after picking up an illness which has ruled him out of training.
