Tottenham Hotspur faces an uphill battle as captain Son Heung-min remains sidelined for Wednesday's League Cup clash against Manchester City due to a lingering hamstring injury. Son, who excelled in a recent victory over West Ham United, missed several key matches, including the recent defeat at Crystal Palace.

Wilson Odobert, also recovering from a hamstring issue, encountered a significant setback upon his return, manager Ange Postecoglou disclosed. Postecoglou expressed confidence in Son's weekend return, a sentiment crucial for Spurs as they strive to regain form and mitigate the team's recent inconsistencies.

Despite disappointment from the loss to Crystal Palace, Spurs remain focused on adherence to core principles. As managerial changes sweep the Premier League, Postecoglou emphasized commitment to long-term success, stating, "I work as if I will be here forever."
