Ange Postecoglou reveals Son Heung-min injury latest amid worrying update on Tottenham star

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has revealed that Son Heung-min will miss the Carabao Cup tie against Manchester City this week - but is likely to be back in action for the Premier League clash against Aston Villa on Sunday.

Son has missed most of the last month for Spurs with hamstring and thigh issues, making a 70-minute appearance in the win over West Ham recently.

And Postecoglou says that the club captain will be rested for the game against Manchester City in midweek, with an aim of returning against Unai Emery's high-flying side at the weekend.

"Son is almost fit but probably from our perspective we'll aim for the weekend. We're quite confident he'll be right for the weekend," Postecoglou told reporters.

However, the news was less positive on Wilson Odobert, who has suffered what looks to be a "serious" issue on his comeback from injury.

"The only other one missing out which is a bit of a disappointment is Wilson, who has had a setback during the week and it seems like it is a serious one so we're just waiting for more information," Postecoglou added. "From the weekend everybody is back and Djed [Spence is] training."

Odobert picked up a hamstring issue against Coventry in the Carabao Cup in September. However, he had returned to action as a substitute during Spurs' 1-0 win over AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League.

But the 19-year-old was absent once again for the Premier League clash against Crystal Palace at the weekend. Postecoglou was asked fore more information on Odobert's injury and stated: "Not exactly the same [injury] but same area."
