The Argentines are catching up whilst Lamela recuperates from injury in the Italian capital.

Tottenham Hotspur are currently without one of their key players, with Argentine playmaker Erik Lamela out of action.

He is struggling with a hip injury and at the moment is back at his former club AS Roma receiving treatment for the continuing problem.

During his time in the Italian capital he has had a chance to catch up with a former team-mate in the form of Federico Fazio.

The Argentine defender was loaned to Roma at the start of the season after struggling to have any impact at Spurs during his time at White Hart Lane.

He is now a regular at Roma and it appears the duo have got reacquainted. This picture, from AS Roma Daily, showed Lamela out for dinner with the Spurs loanee:

Lamela is clearly comfortable back in Rome but is also committed to the London club.

Fazio on the other hand looks set to leave Spurs for Roma in the coming months, after impressing on his loan deal with the Gialorossi.

But it is certainly nice for Lamela to have a familiar face or two back at his old club to help him through his injury struggles.
