Emmanuel Adebayor has been sent to train with the Tottenham reserves.
The former Arsenal and Manchester City striker is currently back in his native Togo for personal reasons but upon his return will begin training away from the seniors according to Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas.
"At the moment Ade is not with us, because we have granted him authorisation to stay up until Monday in his country for personal reasons, so he's not going to be involved against Norwich [on Saturday]," Villas-Boas told reporters.
"Up to when I find it appropriate, he will train with the development team."
