Aston Villa defender Richard Dunne has undergone a third operation in an attempt to cure his long-standing hip problem.
Frustrated
Lambert insists Villa have not looked at trying to obtain compensation from the Football Association of Ireland over the matter.
He said: "I've not gone down that road. Injuries can happen to players, sometimes you get to the bottom of it, sometimes it takes longer than you think.
"As a footballer you get frustrated because you can't put your finger on what's gone wrong with you. Hopefully this time this has worked."
Lambert was hoping a sickness bug at the club this week would be under control ahead of Saturday's clash at Liverpool.
