Tottenham Son Heung-min, who has not recovered 100% of his physical condition, will also miss the round of 16 of the cup today (31st).

He is expected to return to the league game over the weekend, but it is hard to say whether he will be included in the upcoming November A-match.

Tottenham ahead of England's Carabao Cup Round of 16.

The opponent is Manchester City, the league's leading player led by "Monster Striker" Holan.

A tough game is expected, but Son Heung-min, the captain and key striker, will not be able to play.For Tottenham, which has a chronic task of

{Trophy Drought', it is inevitably a big burden.

Son's return match is expected to be a league match against Aston Villa over the weekend.

[Angie Postecoglou / Tottenham manager: Son Heung-min is not allowed (to play in this game). He's healthy, but from our perspective, he'll be aiming for the weekend. We are sure that he will return over the weekend.]

Son Heung-min's second absence is getting longer than expected.

On the 27th of last month, he was out of team power for three weeks since he was replaced after injuring his thigh muscle in a Europa League game.

In the meantime, he also missed the third World Cup qualifying round, Jordan and Iraq.

After returning to the game against West Ham on the 19th, he played a "one-man show" in which he was involved in most of Tottenham's attacks, including his third goal of the season.He proved that '∀}
' Tottenham will win only when Son Heung-min is present.

However, he has not played in six of the last seven games, including a series of ninth-round matches against Alkmaar in the Europa League and Crystal Palace due to pain again.

Even if Son Heung-min returns this weekend, we are also interested in whether he will be included in the upcoming November A-match list.

It is an away match against Kuwait and Palestine, so the travel distance in Europe is not long, but the possibility of being excluded from player protection cannot be ruled out.
