But Villa boss Alex McLeish believes Agbonlahor, who has scored five goals this season, could be back involved before the weekend.

Fingers crossed: Gabriel Agbonlahor could be in the Villa team to face Spurs

? He said: 'Gabby has not joined the group yet but we are hopeful he will be back towards the end of the week.

'I think he has got a chance for Tottenham. He has got a slight strain which guys like Gabby, with their explosive pace, can pick up.

'Gabby went to England in good faith and unfortunately came back with this little nick on his hamstring. It was the England medical guys who flagged it up for us.'
