The 22-year-old missed New Year’s Day’s epic 5-3 derby victory over Chelsea at White Hart Lane and is a doubt for Monday’s FA Cup third-round trip to Burnley.
Lamela, who has improved notably under new boss Mauricio Pochettino this season, congratulated his team-mates on a “brilliant game” on Twitter.
