The Tottenham Hotspur star might miss tomorrow’s clash through injury.
Erik Lamela is a doubt for Tottenham Hotspur’s trip to Arsenal tomorrow.
The Argentina winger picked up a thigh injury in Wednesday’s 1-0 win over Inter Milan in the Champions League, Tottenham’s official Twitter account revealed.
The 26-year-old is no stranger to injuries, having missed over a year of football between 2016 and 2017 with a hamstring problem.
Lamela has been in cracking form for Spurs so far this season, netting six goals in all competitions and manager Mauricio Pochettino will be disappointed if he isn’t available.
Reports indicate that Pochettino will give his compatriot a late fitness test to gauge his availability, but here is how fans of the North London club reacted to his potential absence.
Lamela is a heart-on-sleeve type of player and his passion will be missed against Tottenham’s bitter North London rivals.
The former Roma winger, a £30 million signing in 2013, hasn’t always been a popular figure among Lilywhites supporters, but it’s clear that Pochettino has brought his game to a new level in recent years and this might be his best season yet, as far as individual stats go.
