No stable static spherically symmetric wormholes in Horndeski theory

We consider the most general theory of a single scalar field with the second order field equations, the Horndeski theory, in four-dimensional space-time. We show that static, spherically symmetric, asymptotically flat, Lorentzian wormholes are unstable in this theory.
