The England international has not played since the opening day of the season because of a foot injury and he was also absent from the squad's training session in Enfield.
Nacer Chadli, who missed Saturday's win over Norwich with an adductor problem, missed the session, as did fellow midfielder Etienne Capoue, who is out for two weeks with an ankle injury.
Striker Emmanuel Adebayor did not join in with the first-team squad as he has been instructed to train with the development squad by manager Andre Villas-Boas.
Tottenham begin their Europa League group stage campaign against Norwegian minnows Tromso at White Hart Lane on Thursday.
