Daily Mail | November 27, 2017

Erik Lamela is set to end his 13 month injury hell against Leicester on Tuesday night after Mauricio Pochettino confirmed the forward is finally available for selection.

The Tottenham winger, who's partner gave birth over the weekend, has not played since the EFL Cup defeat at Liverpool on October 25, 2016, due to a long-standing hip injury.

But the Argentine will travel to Leicester for Tuesday night's clash and is in line to make his long-awaited comeback.
