is set to make his first Tottenham start in almost nine months against West Ham in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.

But Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino admits Erik Lamela is still not ready to return, despite hopes the winger would feature against the Hammers at Wembley.

Rose came on for the last 10 minutes of Tottenham's Champions League draw with Real Madrid last week but his appearance off the bench was partly forced due to injuries elsewhere.

The England left-back has been out with a knee problem that required surgery in May and has not started a game since playing against Sunderland on January 31.
