Spurs boss Jose Mourinho says that Tanguy Ndombele is back available for selection after missing the North London derby win over Arsenal.
The France international was a doubt heading into the clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and though Mourinho had hoped he would be available, the midfielder ruled himself out on the day of the game.
However, the 23-year-old is now back in training for what could be a crucial Europa League clash against Royal Antwerp, with the winner of the game topping the group.
Antwerp came out on top against Mourinho's side in Matchday Two, winning 1-0 in Belgium as Mourinho shuffled the pack.
The manager says that Ndombele was a doubt right up until the game against Arsenal, as well as a number of other players.
"I don't know why you ask about that," Mourinho told reporters when asked about injury doubts.
"We had doubts with many problems. Hugo [Lloris] and then Serge Aurier. Sergio [Reguilon] was a doubt.
"Serge will miss the game yes, because he had that problem before Arsenal.
"He is still not completely recovered, he had a reaction from the game. Pierre, no problems, it is just the fact that he is playing every match.
"He played last week three matches of 90 minutes, played Thursday in Austria and played and he played against Arsenal again.
"Now is his time, because we always try to give a rest to one or another player.
"Tanguy was a doubt until the last minute before Arsenal, now it is three or four days after. He is OK.
"[Lamela] came out after the cameras left. He was just doing some work in the gym while we had cameras. I have nothing to hide, after that he came to the pitch and he is starting training progressively.
"Yes of course I was worried, of course we need every option for this difficult month and also January is not going to be easy at all with so many matches and so many competitions.
"Hopefully Lamela will be back for that."
