The former West Ham stopper has missed Villa's last two Premier League outings against Bolton and Burley with the problem.[LNB]Collins was close to returning against The Clarets before suffering a setback and O'Neill is against pushing him back early again.[LNB]O'Neill insists the Wales ace remains doubtful to face Spurs and he will make a late decision on his fitness before finalising his starting XI.[LNB]"I would say at this minute he is probably still a doubt (for Saturday)," said O'Neill. "It is a groin problem. [LNB]"He came back last week feeling fine but seemed to have hurt himself towards the end of the training session on Friday, so we have had to keep an eye on him.[LNB]"I don't think it is as bad as when he first did it at West Ham but we are not sure. We will monitor it. If the game had been today or tomorrow he would be struggling." [LNB][LNB] Aston Villa 11/8, Tottenham 2/1, Draw 9/4
