- Fraser Forster has been ruled out of the lunchtime clash with illness
- Spurs face Newcastle aiming for a first win in four Premier League matches
Goalkeeper Brandon Austin will make his Tottenham debut in the clash against Newcastle after Fraser Forster was ruled out with a sickness bug.
Austin joined Spurs at youth level in 2015 but has not yet made a senior appearance for the club.
Ange Postecoglou has been forced to throw in the 25-year-old with Forster ill and No 1 Guglielmo Vicario out with a long-term ankle injury.
Austin has been on the bench for 15 games this season owing to Vicario’s absence, and is now finally set to get his chance to impress.
He signed a new five-year deal in May, running through to 2029.
Austin’s opportunity may be short-lived, however, as Spurs are set to alleviate their goalkeeping crisis by signing Antonin Kinsky from Slavia Prague.
