When Gareth Bale signed with Real Madrid, Tottenham tried to fill in the shoes of the Welshman by signing new players and one of them was Erik Lamela as he arrived from AS Roma with a price tag of €25.8 but the 22 years old Argentinean player was hit with a back injury that has left him out of action since December 29.

The medical staff of Tottenham has not announced any estimated date when Lamela will be able to come back and this puts in danger his chance of playing for Argentina in the upcoming World Cup.
