Erik Lamela was in action for Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday.
The former Liverpool defender made the comments during the FA Cup tie between Tottenham and Norwich City at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Wednesday evening.
The 28-year-old, who can also operate as a winger, came on as a substitute in the 70th minute.
While Warnock said that he is a big fan of the Argentina International and acknowledged his injury problems, he did say that the former AS Roma and River Plate star does not do enough.
Warnock said about Lamela in the 70th minute of the match during his co-commentary duty for BBC Sport: “Big fan of Lamela. I think he is a real exciting talent, doesn’t just do enough, though. Plenty of injuries during his career at Spurs.”
Stats
Lamela has been at Tottenham since 2013, but the Argentine has had injury issues over the years, and that has affected his impact on the club.
