Erik Lamela is back in the Tottenham squad – I repeat - Erik Lamela is back in the Tottenham squad.
The Argentinian midfielder has missed more than a year of action through injury after undergoing operations on both of his hips.
Lamela has been named on the bench for tonight’s clash against Leicester City and could make his long awaited return to the first team with a cameo appearance.
Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino recently pointed to Lamela as a potential game changer for Spurs when they come up against defensive teams.
But fans will be content with a drama-free return to the pitch as the 25-year-old looks to put his injury nightmare behind him.
