Sebastien Bassong is set to make his debut for Tottenham against Liverpool on Sunday despite appearing to serve only one game of a two-match ban.

Bassong, 23, was sent off for Newcastle at the end of last season and missed their final match of the campaign.

Spurs say he has completed his ban by missing Newcastle's match against West Brom on Saturday, even though he signed for the Londoners before that match.

Tottenham insist the ban continued to apply to Newcastle games.

"Sebastien Bassong will be available for selection for our Premier League season opener against Liverpool on Sunday," read a Spurs statement.

"Given he served the first game of his ban against Aston Villa on the final day of the previous campaign as a Newcastle player, it meant the suspension continued to apply to Newcastle games.

"It was therefore satisfied when his former club visited West Brom on the opening day of the Championship season on Saturday."

Bassong is set to partner Ledley King on Sunday.

Absolute tripe. If that deal was signed off before Saturday afternoon he has another game to go. I'm think David Batty served half a ban for Blackburn and half for Newcastle, I'm sure there are loads of others. Seems like a nice after thought by someone at spurs tbh.

You must be 3betting with another Level? So if a player smashes another player a headbutt on the last day of any given season, he would be free to play the start of the following season as long as he got a transfer?
