Suffers shoulder injury
Sarr (shoulder) was left out of Senegal's squad to face Gambia Tuesday due to an injury and is a doubt for the April 12 clash against Sunderland, according to The Independent.
Analysis: Sarr logged minutes in Saturday's 2-0 win over Peru before the shoulder issue popped up, making the timing of the setback especially tough for new Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi. The Senegal international is a locked-in starter in Tottenham's midfield, and the possibility of losing him is the last thing De Zerbi needs with the injury list at Hotspur Way already stretching deep. Conor Gallagher looks like the leading option to step in if Sarr is not cleared to face the Black Cats, though the full scope of the shoulder problem should become clearer over the next few days.
Assists in Tuesday's loss
Sarr assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Tuesday's 2-1 defeat against Newcastle United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 41st minute.
Analysis: Sarr's headed pass in the 64th minute set up Archie Gray's close-range goal, a strike which briefly tied the match at 1-1. It marked his third assist of the season and it came on the lone chance he created in the match. He was very active on the defensive end as well, recording eight clearances, three tackles and one interception in his full 90 minutes of action.
