Newcastle United have been rocked by a fresh injury blow for Lewis Miley – with the youngster missing out on selection at Spurs tonight.<\/p>\n

Miley was initially deemed unfit ahead of the 4-1 hammering at Liverpool<\/a> when Eddie Howe explained he could not bend his knee. That has seemingly developed into something more seriously with Howe describing the injury as a “bang on the leg” and “dead leg” with Miley suffering from a thigh issue.<\/p>\n

The teenager did not pass a fitness test in the build-up to this game and could be missing for at least a fortnight. But Anthony Gordon did start in a rainy Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this evening.<\/p>\n

Gordon faced a late fitness test of his own but came through it to lead the line ahead of \u00a3124million summer signings Yoane Wissa and Nick Woltemade.<\/p>\n

Harvey Barnes starts on the left of attack and Kieran Trippier operates at right-back. In a surprise move Howe left Lewis Hall on the bench at Spurs.<\/p>\n

Howe had said in the build-up to the game: “He [Miley] got a nasty bang to his leg. It\u2019s like a dead leg that\u2019s dragged on a little bit longer than we thought, so we\u2019ll see how he is.<\/p>\n

“Gordon, we\u2019ll make a check on today and see how he\u2019s progressing. Hopefully, there\u2019s been a big improvement in him. Joelinton won\u2019t make this game.”<\/p>\n

Another shock decision was that to axe Sandro Tonali. The Italian has been out of form and the subject of much transfer speculation over the last week.<\/p>\n

However, ChronicleLive revealed earlie<\/a>r today that while Toon bosses and PIF are believed to be dismayed by the way Tonali’s name has been circulated for a summer transfer they will approach what has been an unfortunate transfer saga in bullish manner.<\/p>\n

UNITED: Pope; Trippier, Botman, Thiaw, Burn; Guimaraes, Willock, Ramsey; Elanga, Gordon, Barnes. Subs: Ramsdale, Hall, Tonali, Wissa, Osula, Murphy, Woltemade, Murphy, Shahar.<\/p>\n
