Erik Lamela has told Mauricio Pochettino he is finally ready to make his Tottenham return after more than a year out through injury.
Lamela, who joined Spurs four years ago for a then club record £30million, has undergone operations on each of his hips and not played since October 25, 2016.
But after beginning training early last month, Lamela gave Pochettino the green light on Monday and is now expected to be on the bench for Tuesday's game against Leicester.
"It is very good news because he is in contention for tomorrow," Pochettino said.
