Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed that long-term absentees Erik Lamela and Danny Rose are edging closer to full fitness.
The pair trained with their teammates on Wednesday ahead of this weekend's Premier League match against Bournemouth at Wembley.
Lamela has been on the sidelines for a year due to problems relating to both hips, which required surgery, while Rose has been unavailable since January with a knee problem.
Ben Davies has since cemented himself in the left-back role, so it is likely that Rose will have to fight his way back into Mauricio Pochettino's team.
Both Lamela and his injured teammate were linked with moves away in the summer, but neither left Tottenham, who are currently third in the league table, five points adrift of leaders Manchester City.
