Spurs insider now 'concerned' at 'really disappointing' injury update for Conte pre-Newcastle

Tottenham insider John Wenham has admitted he is ‘concerned’ over an international break injury to Ben Davies, as per Football Insider.

“They are all must-win games now and we need our top performers in there.

Conte is already without Japhet Tanganga for the rest of the season, and although Cristian Romero is set to return to
