Attacking midfielder Erik hasn't featured for the first team since an EFL Cup tie at Liverpool on October 25 last year.
After surgery to repair hip problems, he played an hour for our Development Squad in a Premier League 2 clash with Chelsea last week and now Mauricio says he's ready for a return to first team duties as we head to the King Power Stadium for a midweek Premier League outing on Tuesday night.
"Good news - Erik has stepped up and is contention for tomorrow," Mauricio told Spurs TV after training today (Monday).
"Always in a very busy schedule you need everyone fit to help the team and that is very good news for the team.
