There was a time when questions were raised over Erik Lamela’s longevity in football due to his troublesome injury woes.
The Tottenham Hotspur winger spent a year on the sidelines with hip problems and underwent multiple operations in a bid to fix the issue.
Lamela returned to action in November and has gone on to make 24 appearances in all competitions, but only three of those games have been Premier League starts.
In fact, the Argentine has played a full 90 minutes on just three occasions, and all of those fixtures were in the FA Cup.
