Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino won't consider Emmanuel Adebayor for their Capital One Cup tie with Newcastle United.
The 30-year-old striker was granted compassionate leave last week as he flew to Ghana for personal reasons, but has since returned to the training ground.
When asked whether Adebayor could be involved against Alan Pardew's side, Pochettino said: "He was back yesterday, but play tomorrow? No.
"He began training after one week yesterday so it would be impossible for him to be ready tomorrow."
