(Reuters) - Newcastle United midfielder Joe Willock is set to miss Saturday's Premier League game at home to Tottenham Hotspur due to an Achilles injury, manager Eddie Howe said on Friday.

Willock, who has already missed large parts of the season due to Achilles and hamstring injuries, limped off in the first half of Newcastle's 1-0 victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage last week.
