Tottenham sweat over midfielder's fitness but winger set to return for Europa League clash
TOTTENHAM midfielder Mousa Dembele is unlikely to be fit to face Fiorentina on Thursday, according to reports.
Dembele (left) may miss Spurs' clash with Fiorentina - but Lamela could start
Demebele, 28, suffered a groin injury in Spurs' 1-0 FA Cup loss to Crystal Palace last weekend.
The Belgium international came off at half time and was replaced by Christian Eriksen.
Lamela, 23, has missed Spurs' last two games due to illness.
He also started on the bench during their 2-1 Premier League win at Manchester City before coming down with a bug.
Five of the Argentina international's eight goals this season have come in the Europa League.
