Son Heung-min Out for Carabao Cup Match

Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min will miss the Carabao Cup fourth-round match against Manchester City due to lingering soreness from a hamstring injury. Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou confirmed that while Son is close to being fit, the team will aim for his return in the Premier League match against Aston Villa on Sunday. Wilson Odobert is also ruled out due to a serious setback, but Djed Spence is back in training. Despite Pep Guardiola indicating he may field a weakened team, Postecoglou expects a strong performance from City, a team with a remarkable record in the competition. The match comes after Spurs' inconsistent form, highlighted by their recent loss to Crystal Palace, and a strong showing against City is crucial for their cup ambitions. Richarlison and Timo Werner may be in contention to start in Son's absence, as Spurs seek to bounce back in the tournament.
