Disappointment for Lamela

Lamela is a very good and creative player whose time at Spurs has been affected by injuries.

The attacking player will hope that his latest problem is not too serious with the team having some important games ahead.

Lamela has made two starts and three substitute appearances in the Premier League and one start and one substitute appearance in the Europa League for Jose Mourinho’s side so far this season, according to WhoScored.

Tottenham Hotspur are going strong

While Lamela will be bitterly disappointed at the injury, Spurs do have enough attacking players to cover him.

Lucas Moura is a very good winger, while attacking midfielder Dele Alli is also an option for Mourinho.

While Lamela is always a good option to have in the squad, Mourinho is unlikely to lose sleep over his absence.

Spurs are fourth in the Premier League table at the moment with 14 points from seven matches, and find themselves at the top of Europa League Group J with six points from three games.
