Andre Villas-Boas hailed Sandro

Tottenham star Sandro is set to play for the north Londoners, despite being on international duty with Brazil.

The silver medallist arrived back yesterday but is in line to start against Newcastle.

“Sandro arrived back on Thursday, but he’s in contention for Saturday,” Villas-Boas said.

“He had a rest when the season was over and he only played two minutes for Brazil so you could say he is fresh.

“He has had the best training possible in terms of playing time so you can say that he is one step ahead in terms of physical preparation.”
