London: Tottenham Hotspur will remain without captain Son Heung-min for their League Cup fourth-round tie at home to Manchester City on Wednesday.
Son returned after a three-match absence due to a hamstring injury to score against West Ham earlier this month, but then reported "soreness" after the October 19 win and has missed subsequent matches with AZ Alkmaar and Crystal Palace.
Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou said Tuesday the South Korea star will miss the visit of City but should return for the Premier League match with Aston Villa on Sunday.
"Sonny, no. Well he is almost fit but we will probably from our perspective aim him for the weekend," said Postecoglou. "We're quite confident he will be right for the weekend.
"The only one missing out, which is a bit of a disappointment, is Wilson (Odobert). He's had a setback during the week and it seems like it's a serious one, so we're waiting for more information.
