Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has revealed that Kyle Walker is still a "few weeks" away from returning to first-team action.
There was speculation the England international right-back could feature in Thursday’s Europa League game against Partizan Belgrade at White Hart Lane after he returned to training ahead of the match.
Walker, 24, has been absent for eight months with an abdominal injury, but he will spend a little longer on the sidelines before making his comeback.
"Kyle Walker will not be involved," said Pochettino ahead of the visit of Partizan.
"Not at the moment, maybe in the next few weeks. Maybe then he has the possibility to be involved."
Emmanuel Adebayor, Younes Kaboul and Etienne Capoue are also unavailable on Thursday due to injuries, while Federico Fazio is suspended.
