Danny Rose and Erik Lamela are back in training with the
Tottenham Hotspur first-team squad after long injury layoffs, the Premier
League club said on Wednesday.
England
fullback Rose has been sidelined since late January with a knee injury and
Argentine midfielder Lamela has not played for nearly 12 months due to hip
problems.
But
Spurs revealed on Wednesday that the pair had rejoined their teammates on the
training ground as they bid to recapture their fitness.
Spurs
tweeted: "Danny Rose and @ErikLamela train with the rest of the team at
Hotspur Way today as they continue to progress with their rehabilitation."
Despite
his lengthy spell out, Rose created controversy on the eve of the new season
with critical comments about Tottenham's pay structure and transfer strategy,
although the 27-year-old subsequently apologised.
Lamela,
25, has suffered problems with both hips and was not named in Tottenham's squad
for the group stages of the Champions League.
The
north London club have started the season brightly despite the absence of Rose
and Lamela and are third in the Premier League table, boosted by the prolific
goalscoring of Harry Kane
