Tottenham boss Antonio Conte is not too concerned about the passing of his goalkeeper and defenders.
Shot stopper Hugo Lloris made an error leading to one of Newcastle's goals in a 2-1 away win for the Magpies against Spurs on Sunday.
Centre-back Eric Dier also came in for some criticism for his display in the Premier League game.
Post-game, Conte told reporters: “I think my only worry at this moment is we have to try to keep our fingers crossed and don't have injuries because we are not a team with such a depth of squad to face competitions like the Premier League and Champions League, but this is not something against the club.
“Absolutely we knew this situation. I spoke with the club, and if you remember very well, at the start of this season, I said to you that we need to go step by step and have time and patience and have two or three transfer markets to bring this squad to be competitive to play in two competitions like Premier League and Champions League.
“In this moment, we are playing massive games, and for example, there are players like Hojbjerg who has played every game, and at the end, there was an injury because he was tired. He was a risk, and it's the same for Cuti [Romero] and for Richy, he played with the national team and then he came back.
“For Deki, honestly, for Deki, our expectation was to have him recovered much earlier. Instead, the situation was worse, and we needed to wait. Lucas Moura started the season with this problem in his tendon, and now he's trying to recover a good physical condition.
“For Skippy, it's the first game since January. (Laughs) When you put all this together, we have to have experience. Okay, you have to have experience. In this moment, it's very important for me to cope with this difficult moment and to have experience and try to go until November in the best possible way. For this reason, we need to be focused on recovering in two days.
“For sure, there are players that need to rest for two days to recover because we have players who, for them, this was seven games in a row, and we don't have the possibility to make rotation in this moment. Our target now has to be to try on Wednesday to win the game because to go to the next round is a good opportunity for us. I know it will be difficult, but we have the possibility to do it and then to try to manage the situation until the last game in November, then there is the World Cup, and we will see what happens."
