In preseason for the first time since his hip injuries, the Argentine winger hopes to win silverware this season and make his national team return
It’s been a long wait for Erik Lamela.
The Tottenham Hotspur winger is hoping 2018-19 will be the first full season he’s played in two years. A hip injury suffered in October 2016 cut that season short and delayed his start to the 2017-18 campaign until November.
Not that he needs reminding. Lamela can reel off the exact period of time for which he was off the field after delaying surgery, then undergoing multiple procedures in an effort to get back to 100 per cent.
