Thomas Frank was asked whether Tottenham are in a relegation battle, as well as speaking on the absences of Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie, ahead of their match against Newcastle United. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Intro. 00:15 - Udogie: hamstring injury out for 5 weeks. 00:51 - Romero: we spoke enough about him on the weekend. He’s a young leader, learning every day.
