The 25-year-old has not played since October last year because of injury and underwent a successful procedure on his left hip last month, with Lamela taking to social media to give a positive update after the surgery.

Spurs say the latest operation was on his right hip but insist it has not changed or extended his expected recovery time.

"Erik Lamela has undergone a planned procedure to his right hip," Tottenham said on Twitter.

"Erik recently had an operation on his left hip and the latest surgery will not affect the overall recovery period.
